#Jriver tonido software

In all of the other audio forums, roon does get a lot visibility with regard to its SQ (good or poor). This topic seems to come up pretty frequently, which is good in so far as there are many great options for everyone and for lack of a better phrase, competition (which is healthy). There is a recent thread in the exact same vein (CD vs roon) in which that user much preferred his CDT. I miss the Roon interface and the remote control but its impossible to go back from a SQ point of view.Ī lot of good points brought up thus far. Jriver is installed on a Windows OS nuc 8th gen. Roon is installed as a ROCK on a nuc 8th gen. Jriver seems to mimic it very simply but roon is perhaps a db or 2 down + washed out and not as direct as the CDT.Ĭlearly there is something roon is doing to the signal which Jriver isnt. I would like to know if there is anything I can do to make Roon sound just like how the CDT does which is superior without doubt. The sound on the Jriver - DLNA was as close to as I could get perhaps identical as my CDT. Setup was straight forward choose the NS1 as a DLNA endpoint and I was in business.

I then on a friends reccomendation installed Jriver. I’m not getting into the sonic merits or adjectives of how it was better but it got me thinking as honestly frustrated since I was not enjoying my computer audio as I know my CD Transport was much better.

What I heard was quite different and certainly better than what Roon was doing as a playback software. Recently I got a CD Transport into my setup it has a glass optical out and I connected it to my DV2 via a ST Fiber cable. I use a Emmlabs DV2 Dac + NS1 Network endpoint.

In all this time I’ve used roon as my playback software streaming to an endpoint. I’ve been a roon user for around 3 years.
