Roon and Audirvana or Hqplayer

Posted by: T38.45 on 18 June 2016

folks,

some of you are using roon as their frontend - do you have hqplayer or audirvana integrated with roon?

comparing roon native with audirvana i prefer audirvana by miles...

so is hqplayer on same level?

thanks

Hi Ralf,

I tried all of them.....and Audirvana is by far the best one I have. I was pretty shocked how artificial HQPlayer as sounding. Tried several options, but no success. So still Audirvana :-)

Best regards

I was switching back and forth between Roon with HQPlayer and Audirvana before - I did not prefer one over another (try different settings, DSD etc.), liking them both a lot. Of course this all changed when I purchased the microRendu and use Roon/HQPlayer which sounds better than anything I have heard before in my setup.

...thx KH, I still prefer audirvana too----but on the other hand: the usability of roon is simple great...guess I'll stay with roon and live with the SQ impact:-)
