Thought I'd start a new thread for people's views and opinions similar to here:

Just got a trial of roon and installed new v3 beta on my old 2010 iMac with ssd and 8gb ram connected via Ethernet.
Air Ethernet only as Air wifi didn't play without having dropouts.
Can't use DOP with DSD files as you get background hiss so have roon converting to pcm.
After a few hiccups I'm surprised to say over he past two nights I'm really impressed in its beta form, music is very engaging and I am pleasantly surprised by how good it sounds.
More listening again later tonight, but I can only describe it as immersive 3D like and I was so close to pulling the trigger on a microrendu.
What are other dev owners finding? I for one need more time but I may be purchasing roon at this stage.
