My configuration is different from my Sooloos, but I'm only doing a test drive. Since my Roon setup is somewhat inferior to my Sooloos setup it wasn't surprising that my Roon SQ wasn't as good as my Sooloos. I also invited my spouse and cousin to chime in. My spouse is a professional trombone player and cousin is an audiologist and music lover. I'm only an audiophile! My spouse thought the "shimmer" of cymbals and tone of horns wasn't as accurate as the Sooloos. My cousin thought the Sooloos had better sound-staging. However, it's important to note that BOTH thought the sound from Roon and Sooloos were very good.

It's clear the interface of Roon is superior. In the not too distant future I will no doubt retire/sell my Sooloos, but at the moment I will use both. Before I jump full in I want to see what the high-end manufacturers will bring to the table with hardware. I also want the software to mature a bit more.

Control:10, TwinStore, Lyngdorf DPA-1 Preamp, Linn Klimax Stereo Amp, Piega TC 70X speakers, QNAP TS-451 8TB.

Roon setup (temporary): 2009 Macbook Pro with a 1TB Hibred Drive and 4Gigs of RAM, Peachtree Audio T1 USB to SPDIF. FLAC files are kept on the QNAP TS-451 NAS. I use Rosewill (Newegg) Cat-7 Ethernet Cable on all connections.
