Если можно было бы поставить десять звёзд,то это для Вас. Что я только уже не перепробовал это лучшее что есть и всегда возвращаюсь к Roon. Вы лучшие!

Still the best

Love the service, love the app. Appreciate the updates as well as the description of what is being updated.

Unreliable

Constantly disconnecting from core. Non stop. I can’t go 15 minutes without it losing connection. This has been the case for a long time. I am done. This software is trash.

Long way to go

A platform built for personal music collection but relies on qobuz/tidal to create mixes. Ok-ish UI experience.. can’t match streaming services.

If You Know, You Know

If you’re a serious music listener willing to make an investment with a proper system, Roon is your only option. It’s not intended for casual users. There’s a learning curve that when understood, it enables you to travel down deep rabbit holes of music exploration. Highly recommended.

FAQ

What is Roon and how does it work?

Roon is a music player that reshapes how you browse and explore your music library. It uses rich metadata to create a journey of musical discovery, connecting performers, composers, and genres. The Roon experience requires a Roon Server on your network, and this app acts as a controller for that server.

What kind of audio devices are compatible with Roon?

Roon is compatible with over 1,000 audio devices. This includes Roon Ready, Airplay, Chromecast, and USB devices. The app ensures flawless playback and precision audio control for a wide range of gear, from headphones to home hi-fi systems.

Can I use Roon to play music from streaming services?

Yes, Roon allows you to play from your collection of music files as well as libraries from TIDAL, Qobuz, and KKBOX. This integration provides a comprehensive music listening experience within the Roon ecosystem.

Is Roon free to use?

The Roon App itself is free to install on as many devices as you like. However, the Roon experience requires a Roon Server on your network, which is a separate component. Further details on server requirements and potential costs should be sought from the Roon website.

What is Roon ARC?

Roon ARC is a feature that provides access, playback, and precision audio control for your entire Roon music library directly from your phone, wherever you are in the world. It extends the Roon experience beyond your home network.
