Suggest history , the current roon userbase , the band of early adopters you see on thier forum are all about soundquality and messing around with thier computers as players . That will probably change when the amount of network devices gain more ground . Roon started early on with great support for local playback , something that's not even a core function in LMS , it's a plugin :) The idea is probably to also compete with jriver etc for a nice computer direct to hifi interface , many are still stuck there . So the fellow that started the tread come at it rom an audiophile perspective ? Roon has that in thier bag to not compromise audiquality when not necessary and good format support . Sonos don't fit and apple certainly don't with their weird 16/48 botched resampling on many devices . Just like squeezebox and LMS . You can have good sound and good interface and reasonable prices . But it is more than that . Roon is new competitor in distributed whole home audio , ( the current early adopters misses the potential somewhat ) hope they gan a wider userbase . I don't think that will hurt LMS , the whole niche needs more interest . The tread could be move to general discussion I agree . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
