You could also live on a desert island What about the luxury river cruise down the Rhine?

It does require a lot of processing power to achieve its aims, as its aims are ambitious compared to others. Personally, I cannot understand these ridiculous debates and one upmanship. We should just be thankful we have a diverse range of products to choose from and are free to make our own...

I have tried some of them myself!

Reading this, I am left with the impression that you are still using physical CDs as your music source and you don’t mention any streaming services. If that is the case, you have no need of Roon! Roon is for music in digital formats . However, you do not need an expensive PC device: an...

I have got another update for two of my pros but the third is still stuck on the update done on 15 August!

Two of my Wiim Pros have updated. One yet to update.

I posted earlier about only getting 96 kHz via WiiM Pro and attributed this to the age of my DAC. I have been playing around with a few connections and decided to use a toslink (SPDIF) connection rather than the COAX I was using. This was on the assumption that as I was only going to get 96...

Thank you for your responses to my question about WiiM downsampling in Roon. I suspect that it is to do with the DAC rather than Roon, as the streams directly from Qobuz are also being automatically downsampled. I have another WiiM in another setup which is not downsampling. The DAC that is...

I am finding that 192kHz 24 bit files will not play via WiiM Roon. I have to downsample to 96kHz for them to play. I use COAX for output and it is set to 192kHz 24bit.

I didn’t register for early access but it is good to hear that everything is working. I look forward to getting it in the next couple of days.

You cannot download Qobuz (or Tidal) streaming content to ARC. This is a licensing issue between Qobuz and their suppliers rather than a technical one. Of course this is only an issue if you cannot stream using ARC. ARC can be a bit slow to start up (I suspect it is updating all that new...

As a long term subscriber to Roon, I thought ARC was a a waste of resources as I would not use it as I can download my own files to my phone and stream or download Qobuz files when travelling. I have had to eat my words. ARC is just so much better than these other solutions as you have a...

Life is full of choices. Computers on standby use minimal power and the cost is minimal also, particularly when compared to the cost of many people’s hifi setup.

You just need a reasonable computer to run Roon. You do not need a Nucleus. I use a desktop.
