"Audio woo woo" believers... AWW! I like that. I think what I've observed is a lot of folks that have not lived in the trenches of digital audio streaming... the trials and tribulations of ripping CDs, tagging and organizing your music files, seeking cover art and struggling to get and keep it all working. Many Roon AWW believers seem new to this biz... Perhaps they've ripped a few CDs, but more likely they're downloading their music, given little thought to tagging and organizing files and likely using Tidal. For them, Roon makes it so easy to plug and play and has opened a whole new world. Ah, it's good to be a dinosaur.
