![]() ![]() So, I think I will be saving a fortune in Roon and quite expensive Qobuz and Tidal subs. If I want to play on my bedroom setup with EQ, will have to be a USB cable from DAC to phone and run through Spotify and Wavelet. Multiple endpoints- so I will have to go back to USB from the PC to CXN if I want to use EQ - I could cast AM to the CXN if I wanted something easier but no EQ. Apparently you can stream Amazon Music from phone app to Alexa installed on the PC, but its a bit clunky and, from a very very quick test and a bit of research doesnt seem to have the sound quality of the AM app on PC.ģ. Mobile / remote control- I may have to use a remote keyboard for PC and/ or remote desktop on the chromebook. Interface nowhere near as slick- I love the library analysis and sorting features of Roon, fully integrated PEQĢ. What am I missing compared to Roon and Qobuz/ Tidal?ġ. Sadly, Wavelet cant EQ an Amazon Music stream (nor Tidal and a few others I think) otherwise I would have done that. Yes, I would love a proper PEQ, not GEQ and/ or presets, but you can tweak the Auto EQ settings a bit with manual GEQ so good enough. But then I discovered Wavelet thanks to brilliant post and wonderfully gives seamless access to the Auto EQ database of settings. So far so good, but only a paltry EQ function. For mobile - my wife has a Spotify account and you can add a second "Duo" account on for only a couple of £ pm. Seems to work just fine - not as slick as the Roon DSP for sure, but its free and works!ģ. Spotify allows you to play local files through its app, but it puts them in a separate "box" so you cant shuffle along with streamed content- so pretty pointless, may as well use Musicbee etc separately.Ģ. It is one of the few streaming desktop apps that allows local and online files to be merged and also allows a full library shuffle (both of which I need). Amazon Music Unlimited - currently under trial but its £7.99 pm or £79 annual for HD. So, what solutions did I come up with to replace?ġ. I also had a secondary (less than lossless) sub with Tidal to both supplement my Qobuz library and also use with UAPP on Android when mobile due to its ability to shuffle big playlists and apply EQ (Qobuz didnt play well with that). Communicates seamlessly with endpoints over network (Mainly Cambridge Audio CXN) and allows me to use the remote for that to control playback, as well as apps on Android and Chromebookīut I simply cannot justify the hefty price if I cant access the bulk of my music for days at a time due to unresolved tech issues somewhere between Roon and Qobuz.Allows me to merge local and streaming files.A damn shame as it is great software and perfect for my needs as it : *KEF has just announced its LS50 Wireless II speaker system now supports Tidal Connect.After the second loss of Qobuz favourites from my Roon library this weekend, the second in a month (first occurence: ) I decided to pack it in with Roon. TIDAL Connect offers HiFi members another route to discovery, making it easier to control music on a preferred device and motivating users to use TIDAL as intended, wherever and whenever,” said Tidal COO Lior Tibon. “TIDAL consistently looks for opportunities to normalize and elevate the HiFi listening experience, with its chief aims being uncompromised high-fidelity sound and seamless access to entertainment. So what Tidal Connect-enabled products are there? Tidal hasn't detailed specific device compatibility, but the launch partners for Tidal Connect include Bluesound, Cambridge Audio, DALI, KEF*, iFi audio, Lyngdorf, Monitor, NAD, Naim Audio and StreamUnlimited – so we can imagine the lion's share, if not all, of Tidal-supporting products from those brands will support the feature. ![]()
