Sound Quality of Rose with and without Roon

Honestly, your condescending, dismissive, grumpy responses aren’t helpful. Saying, “hey, its likely a slight change in db”, would be constructive.

I used DeltaWave and they are nearly identical. I level-matched (temporarily) Roon using the Speaker Setup setting in Muse, and found that a 0.38db gain boost made them sound the same.

So there WAS a difference! lol :laughing:
So slight that you don’t immediately know its louder, but it is there

If you want condescending, look at every person with a “resolving” (usually means tubes, speakers with FR that looks like a sawtooth, and distortion up the wazoo) system and “muh ears are golden” attitude…

But at least we’ve established that there is no difference in SQ, just that some streamers play some sources a little bit louder under some setups.

Boris, I don’t get why you are posting on this thread or almost any other on here. Do you own any HiFi Rose gear or are you just trolling? You sh*t on pretty much every thread on this site and I haven’t seen much of any positive contribution.

Thanks Gingerbeard,will do but probably tomorrow .When I looked at Muse, there was no speaker setup on the left.Is there a setting that can make that appear?Also convolution was missing.Thanks for the help in advance!Also I know that even small db increases can make one think it sounds better,but am anxious to try tomorrow.At the risk of sounding snarky, boring boris can call me Dr.Jay from now on!!

Maybe try learning to read and check my posts then?

Of course the description of your system that you have helpfully provided is a pretty good proof that you do not read anything except for price tags.

From my reading of your posts, the most common issue is you commenting on systems or components when you haven’t heard them or likely any of the components. Now you get to be ignored by yet another person who just wants to discuss our Rose components with like-minded people.

Edit: I’ll add that you and I had never interacted and the first interaction is you criticizing my system when I was answering someone else. It’s just being a negative unhelpful person.

So, as I was saying, you really should learn to read first. You aren’t very good at it.

Yup, you get to be added to the circle jerk list of people who have no clue and boast to each other just how clueless they are.

Eh, the first interaction was you doubting if I have any Rose devices. Which does not reflect well on your research abilities. Which, of course, was well confirmed by the fact that you have the 130, SFPs, etc. etc.

Now, I can totally allow that one might like tube sound, and Tannoy-like coax speakers, although you don’t really get to claim a “resolving” system with a kit like that. The rest of it though, that’s exactly what someone with absolutely no understanding of how electronics work would assemble, if they only looked at price tags, listened to sweet-talking salesmen, and could not afford anything actually “high-end.”

That guy is a nuisance.

It sounds much better with Rose app to me. I would choose it any day without hesitation. Whoever claims that there is no difference or that ROON it is better is wrong. My observations are with RS201E.

Hey Jay, just click the + Add filter button

TomTurd is an idiot who believes that different fiber cables “sound” different, which really tells you all you need to know about him.

Someone claiming that Rose App sounds “better” after being told to equalize volumes… well, unfortunately these days even people with single-digit IQ survive past infancy.

Thanks Tom T , I appreciate you calling little boris out.I have never heard from such a negative ,condescending, narcissistic person on a friendly forum in my life.Why people can’t have a discussion about things we share a great passion for without putting other people down is beyond belief.Boris, I really wish you would get some help because I can tell you’re a smart guy and would have a lot to offer to the discussion if you didn’t offend most people in this forum.

Thanks for your input everflo,I couldn’t agree more with your assessment !!

Thanks Gingerbeard, but I can’t for the life of me get the add filter to come on.I have read the speaker setup in Muse but no luck adding the filter where I can add the .38 db to test your theory.Any thoughts?

Note that if you are on a phone, you don’t get the full Muse controls. I do see them on my iPad Pro and Desktop though.

I did this to test with, but I am not running the filter in normal circumstances.

I did some more back and forth listening trying to focus on recordings that aren’t perfect. With either great recordings or ones not perfect, I’m still not hearing any difference that I think I could point to in a double blind listening or sighted. That is good for me because I much prefer the Roon interface.

…which, surprise-surprise, didn’t even need proving — or testing for that matter. It’s obvious to anyone with ears. The proud owner of a ‘high-res system’ finally arrived at the exact conclusion Boris and I already shouted from the rooftops in 100,500+ posts above!”
