Audirvana vs Roon vs JRiver vs ???
« on: Today at 06:51 am »
I have a bunch music files on a couple of hard drives. I know about these three: Audirvana; Roon; JRiver. There are likely others as well.

I want to play my music files. I want to stream music from Tidal and other sites. [I already have TIDAL.] I've placed an order for an Eversolo T8 - ought to be delivered in about 2 weeks.

Which program do you use to play your music files?

Thank you for your input.

Michael

I have only around a couple of hundred cd's ripped to lossless flac files and I also bought a few albums from Qobuz and it all gets combined in Roon. I really like the display of Roon in that some songs will auto display the lyrics during playback. I have not experienced any other streaming platforms

Hello,

Same here as I use Roon and then stream Tidal to my Bryson PI. It adds up though when you purchase Tidal and Roon together though.

Thanks, guys. Do either of you also use Roon Nucleus One or Nucleus Titan also?

I did not get the Roon Nucleus. I am using Mac Mini M4 for Roon, Qobuz, ripped cd's. I like the Mac because of the BAACH4Mac by Theoretica.

Ooh, yeah! I forgot to mention I'm a Mac user. Does it matter which level of Mac Mini M4 is used (base model, M4-pro, 16GB vs 32GB RAM, etc.)?

I have the entry level at 16GB and it has proven to be more than enough power and my current OS is 26.2 . I am happy with how my setup sounds and performs.
