Re: Roon DSP
Mike, my current system sounds so darn good I can't bring myself to mess with it. But, I guess I'll never know how the DSP feature works/sounds until I try it. Same with Roon ARC.

Re: Roon DSP
Yeah, it just seems like another form of equalization to me. Probably don't need it.

Re: Roon DSP
FWIW, I was reading a thread of Roon users about sound quality and versus other software options, it seems the users agreed the best sound from Roon is bypassing the DSP and all options that effect sound.

Re: Roon DSP
I have created convolution filters in REW (using the Harman Target Curve) and run them through ROON. You have to have a ROON core with serious processing power to apply the convolution filters to the higher resolution files, especially DSD. My results have been fantastic.

Re: Roon DSP
It is not the same as the EQ of yesteryears. It is done using convolution filters that allow you to make adjustments to the speaker/room measurements. You need to measure the speaker/room interaction using specialized software (I used REW) and using those measurements you can develop the convolution filters.
Some vendors can use your measurements and develop the filters for you. Then they let you try it using your own music before you commit.
IME DSP can really make a big, measurable difference to the sound of your speaker/room.
