Ok guys... You guys have been asking for classical stuff a lot... here is our first sneak peak...


I'm sure this will throw up a flurry of questions at http://community.roonlabs.com

Questions will come in time, but as someone with an extensive classical music collection, who has found the Sooloos handling of metadata for classical music extremely frustrating; but who has (perhaps thankfully) never had the time to groom my own metadata to resolve the many shortcomings...

... that looks extremely promising! smile

Neil,

I could not agree more. If it requires me selling all M Sooloos gear to get this, it's gone!

Looks fantastic. I'm glad I ripped my collection using dBpoweramp and don't have to go through the Sooloos export routine, but a little concerned about how Roon will convert my carefully groomed metadata on over 5000 albums and nearly 1000 hi res classical downloads. I suspect there will be plenty of manual intervention but at least the architecture appears to be in place.

Anyone have any idea on launch date?

Mid May 2015 apparently, not sure of exactly what features will be in the initial release, maybe Danny could clarify on the Classical situation?

Yetis,

No need to sell. You won't have anything to play it on.


Sooloos, Roon, G series (with LPS upgrade), 800 series (with LPS upgrade), HD621, AC200, Prime and PS, DSPs old and new.

Look, I don't want to, but it's all a giant mess. Between whatever is going on with M and MQA and this, its all very poorly executed.
It's funny, you can always tell when the inside guys know a new product is getting ready to launch, as you will see a spike in certain hardware on Audiogon...

I am more at peace with Roon, simply because I have an idea of what is going on, there is transparency.

Indeed.

My point is however that your MS200s, MC600 and MD600 will continue to be relevant in a Roon system, as they will be your endpoints and NAS storage.
