ok I might understand what my limitation is. Pls specify more which hardware you are using and how your setup is configured, then more members might be able to help.

They certainly don’t seem to be the go to player for the serious music lover/audiophile as they once were.Microsoft never fully killed off the classic Windows Media Player, but in recent years it hasn’t exactly shown it much love either. I’ve loyally forked out for the J River upgrade for a good few years (without really getting much for it I guess) but now I really can’t see the value in another ugrade. Qobuz is very liberating - it stops you listening to the same old same old - and I have found that Roon lets me get more out of it than Qobuz’ own app, partly because of Roons iPad app and partly because of all the reviews and understanding of compositions that Roon has.

And I would often listen to things in Qobuz that I had in my own collection, that Qobuz had in higher resolution. I found as time moved on I used Qobuz more and more and my own music less and less.

The only thing I find preferable in Roon is their particular integration of DSP/EQ but JRiver's compatibility with VST plug-ins is some compensation. At the moment, the only reason I use Roon is to access Qobuz but, at this time, the major proportion of my listening is to my own library. With JRiver, I can define what I want to see and how. Also, I cannot get myself comfortable browsing in Roon or, even, scrolling. Roon does not recognize and meta-tag all of my classical library and, since it is working well in JRiver, there is no impetus for me to learn how to do it manually in Roon.
