I got the Peachtree Audio T1 24/96 Adaptive USB to SPDIF Converter (a digital connection vice analog) and downloaded Roon this weekend. Some results and thoughts...

1. Seems despite my best efforts only half of my collection exported to my Roon directory where I have the FLAC files. Not sure what happened, but trying to export again has not worked...any thoughts would be welcome.

2. Interface. Nice, this is definately the direction to go. However, interacting with the Roon interface really should be with a touch screen. Seems my 2009 Macbook Pro's screen is a bit too small (13"). So one definately should have a big touch screen to interact with. The speed is just fine nearly instantenous on my old repurposed Mac. No complaints there. Roon considers my collection small (about 1100 albums) so I expected it would work fine.

I need to do come critical listening, but I also know I don't have an optimal setup. Afterall, this is just a test drive. I'm hoping that Roon 1.1 comes out within my 2 week trial period so I can try the improved interface and also get it on my iPad Air 2.

More thoughts to follow as I become familiar and play. Any help on my Sooloos export issue would be appreciated.
