Hi all
I have setup my Rpi4 with Khadas Toneboard, along with the official RPi 7" Display. Downloaded Roon as a trial (core onto my Mac), with Ropieee onto my RPi4.
So far, very happy with the experience and the sound. In particular, I especially am fond of:
1. The Artwork displaying on the RPI Screen.
2. The ability to see the lyrics within Roon (for example, from the Roon app on my phone).
3. The Tidal integration offered by Roon.
Reading a lot over at the Roon Labs forum, there really is quite a variety of opinion on it. I am completely on the fence about whether or not to subscribe.
I had tried Mcontrol app with Volumio, and while this worked fine, the user experience just isn't on par with Roon.
I have seen options for premium Volumio (Superstar), but have found very little on the net about it.
Anyone here subscribed to Roon and what are your thoughts?
Is there an alternative to Roon that matches it's features (even if the alternative involves subscription).
Thanks
Fin
