Hi HiFi friends, I was attracted to the Roon hype, looked into it and got confused. I know that the HiFi world is a matter of taste and preferences, and the argumentation for whatever equipment or software does not have to be based on pure cold logic :) However, did I get this right, that Roon wants me to pay them ~500 bucks and to buy a 500 bucks NAS / Mac Mini in order to allow myself to listen to my own music, which I can do anyways today? Hmmm ... If I look at apps like Synology native DS Video (as an example, not as an alternative to Roon!) - which gives you a Roon-like augmented experience of your own video media (ratings, reviews, info on artists, pics, trailers, ...) with multi-device support - the price (zero, subsidized with hardware) is much more realistic. And one last word on "lifetime" pricing: it is their lifetime, not yours :)
I understand this is a premium service, but dear Roon managers: you need to find new financing models for this, to make it more attractive to customers. Do not forget, your market segment are the geeks. Some of them rich, but still geeks ;) Long live my LMS infrastructure ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bsergiu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66496 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104044 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
