I migrated away from Roon because of the frequent and sometimes problematic updates. It became tiresome. I like less boxes in my rig; one of the many reasons I like my Weiss, since I use the preamp function.
Trying Qobuz Connect For the First Time
My Weiss 501 DAC just received the latest Firmware update. I have been using the JPlay interface which I find to be very transparent and dimensional. So far the Connect sound seems more immediate and somewhat forward. I need to listen a lot more before doing a fair comparison with JPlay.

I have an Antipodes server and recently tried switching from Roon to Squeeze, as it is touted as sounding better. That is something of an understatement, it is a significant upgrade in sound. This was after the big April Roon update, though maybe they have improved things since. I miss Roon UI greatly, but I am addicted to the Squeeze sound and not sure I can go back. |
@zlone Jplay is just a hair down from Squeeze for clarity, and it is just a hair or two down from Roon for UI. Give it a try (if you haven't already). And it is much less expensive than Roon. FWIW I noticed zero sonic difference after this "huge" April Roon update. Same delta between Roon and Squeeze as there was before. |
@mclinnguy I have a JPLAY license, though it is not technically supported by Antipodes, there are ways to kludge it. I can also skip the server altogether I think and go straight to my network dac. Maybe I will try it again. |
