Thanks to John Darko (http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2017/12/dars-holiday-gift-guide-2017/) I've started a 60-days free trial of Roon, and even taken the plunge to let it temporarily take control over my various squeeze-instances. I last tried this in the early stages, and without having access to a Tidal account. Here are some findings on the current state of things to me: - Somehow it plays louder than LMS. I switched over without touching anything in the rest of the setup, and I had to lower the volume by 10dB as indicated on the display of my amp to maintain the same perceived volume :confused: - Scanning the local collection sure takes up a lot of time and resources: I've dedicated 1 core of my i5 5300U CPU to it and after ±12 it's still only about halfway through my 120K wel-tagged tracks and it's using up around 1.5GB of RAM :eek: - With Tidal in the mix, "Radio" seems to work much better than it used to, actually giving a diverse but coherent mix of songs. I'll try it out later with Tidal disconnected just to be certain. It does use tracks from the local collection as well as it is.
