When I bought the Muso, I was listening to music in no time at all. It has just the right feature set for me. Navigation is intuitive and requires very little input before I’m listening to music. I find Roon too confusing and time consuming and have spent more time swiping, clicking and scrolling than listening to music.

For example, the most basic task of browsing by album, artist or track requires a click to enter the menus, then a click to select my choice. Why isn’t there simply an icon on the page?

And when I’m looking at all my albums, there’s no large A-Z to indicate where I am in the collection. Instead I find myself squinting to read an album name, swiping a few times then looking at another album name.

Once I select an album, say... A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Roon shows me the cover art and a list of tracks. Even on a 27” iMac however I need to swipe, no wait, this time I need to SCROLL to see tracks 6-11. Room can’t even display 11 track names without my input. And it’s not even as if they use a large font. There’s just a heap of unnecessary space between each track name.

Meridian isn’t cheap here in the land of Oz. A pair of 3200’s with stands costs £5000. I dropped this cash in order to have some down time without tech... but now find myself swiping scrolling and clicking far more than is reasonably necessary to perform simple tasks. I was hoping Sooloos might be less IN YOUR FACE and let me listen to music. Sorry to moan but my wallet seems to be aching badly... and that’s before it gets hit with a $500 Roon membership.

Everyone’s thoughts greatly appreciated.

Finally the proud owner of a 218 and 3200's... Will they grow up to be an 818v3 and 8000 se's???
