So for me, in a music serving app, the richness of experience and music exploration possibilities matter a lot.ĭoes it still justify the $119 annual membership fee? It is like asking does it justified to pay Rs 70000+ for an iPad Pro when there are Android tablets that rival it in specs available at one-third the price? I guess the answer will be person-dependent (I have an iPad Pro by the way - and am entirely on Apple platform for that matter). And for serious listening to my favourite albums I depend on my copious CD collection.
I use streaming primarily for exploring the world of music - artists, genres, styles et al. But to me, the above utilities matter a lot. If I were using the apps only for listening, I’d think likewise too. I guess those of us who don’t care much for Roon’s music exploration, discovery, metadata, library insight and UI would find its premium subscription charges exorbitant and prohibitive. And though there can be subjectivity there, Roon is widely believed to have an edge there. So I guess it boils down to the features, user experience and UI. I do see that Roon is many times costlier than Audirvana - which, as per user reviews including yours, doesn’t seem any worse in sound quality. It’s always useful to have multiple options for us the consumers and a healthy competition between providers to keep them innovating.
Thanks for sharing your experience and preference.
