Set-up a core per reference (a server far away from your listening room connected via hardwire ethernet). Of all the ways to stream music on a local network RAAT is a bit heavier than most.īut, this is a super easy test and one I did a few years back as I transitioned from Audirvana to Roon. contributes to better SQ then that speculation may hold true. If you believe that lower cpu frequencies, lower latency, leaner network stack, etc. There is also some speculation that RAAT, being a bit heavier of a protocol than others, may contribute to a higher workload at the endpoint. Roon believes bit-perfect delivery is the end-goal. the audio path on Mac (and now Windows?) It’s a very different philosophy.
#Audirvana review 2019 software#
Roon isn’t interested in being better than “bit-perfect”.Īudirvana has years of tweaks to their software to bypass, lower latency, prioritize, etc. What it sounds like at that point is sole responsibility of the endpoint.
It guarantees that what leaves the Core is bit-perfect at the endpoint. Roon’s position is that Roon Advanced Audio Transport (RAAT) is bit-perfect. They don’t go near sound quality within that certification. They have a very deep Partner program of Roon Ready devices but, from my understanding, they supply an SDK and make sure the manufacturer conforms to the requirements of the program. They don’t recommend you plug DACs into Nucleus but it is supported. And, to be honest, Roon’s “hardware footprint” is limited to Nucleus. Personal experience and spending way way too much time on the Roon forums. Is there a review you’ve gleaned this from?
