Empirical Comments on Roon or anything else

As a sort of sub thread, I would interested to hear from those who have experience comparing “Roon system” SQ with other things.

I can only contribute with what I wrote here about Roon vs. Jriver:

Roon 1.7 announced

I just first time really compared Roon (gave 1.7 another try) to Jriver sound quality, both running in the same PC separated from the audio power circuit and galvanically isolated into Bridge II. OMG, I didn’t expect that. Roon has clearly less ambiance, less air between instruments, it even seems there’s less reverb in the room. Bass also doesn’t go as deep as with Jriver. I can imagine this is possibly not so obvious for some depending on the revealingness of the setup and positioning of spe…

So no own sound of Roon, just differences in quality.
