While I enjoy listening to vinyl, I also stream music in various ways. We have HEOS for our whole-house background music, but we use Roon (Nucleus One) with subs to Tidal and Qobuz for more serious listening. The main listening and theater room uses a StormAudio MK3 processor. Other listening rooms have a WiiM Ultra and Eversolo DMP-A6 to access Roon. We have Amazon Music Unlimited, but we rarely use it. I've tried iTunes, but I've stuck mostly with Tidal and Qobuz due to my Roon lifetime subscription and how well it organizes and integrates our local music with the streaming music library. Now that I'm retired, discovering new music and rediscovering old music has never been more fun.
How about you... if you stream music, what streamers and subscriptions do you use?
Hi Sonnie,
Thanks for the offer to participate.
I too enjoy vinyl but find that I use it less since the advent of streaming. I have Stereo Sonos Play 5s in the bedroom and a couple of endpoints in other rooms but I mainly use a roon subscription to stream Qobuz to my roon certified Devialet dual mono amps.
i can control the Mk1 Sonos gear through roon, but can’t group them with my main system, which I don’t find too much of a hardship.
I too love the way roon integrates my library with Qobuz content and presents it to me in a format like a magazine with hyperlinks.
i went for a lifetime subscription back in 2017 for $500, which was equal to £360 where I live is the best upgrade to my listening experience I could have made for the money.
Congratulations on your retirement, I retired last year so I’m doing the same as you, by the sound of it. Having fun!
