Yes, I enjoyed doing the sound quality comparison as it satisfied my curiosity and didn't take much effort. I think Qobuz/Qobuz Connect is an excellent solution for anyone who simply wants to stream Qobuz.
However, I prefer the flexibility of the Roon user interface and Roon's ability to play my own local music files in addition to streaming Qobuz. Since I have a lifetime subscription to Roon I have no reason to switch to Qobuz Connect.

Just like LMS. :)

  Not quite exactly as there are dozens of other Roon features that I use daily that are not available in LMS or Qobuz Connect.
  
  I enjoyed using LMS over 15 years ago with my Squeezebox Touch. Good to know it's still evolving to catch up with the leaders ;-). I'm sure it's still a great DIY solution.

      Many Roon innovations are being worked on for LMS and Audirvana. There are leaders like Roon that changed the landscape and there are followers.
      
      No argument that FREE software is nice, but sometimes it's worth paying for better if the value is there for you. It is for me as I've been on Roon for nearly 10 years now with no reason to go back to LMS or Audirvana.

        LMS supported a wide range of online internet integrations before Roon's 2015 launch .
        
        The Tidal plugin was developed by Logitech about the same time. Adding the Qobuz flavor when it was available to the US market was a natural progression.
        
        No added value for me to change.

        Which has more innovative features overall? Not to mention a polished user friendly setup and overall user experience.
        Roon? LMS?
        I'm not here to sell anyone on Roon but the answer is clear for me. Enjoy whatever playback system you prefer.

        It's true Roon offers lots of *innovative* features unimportant to many. :)
        
        Impressive ! - AbeCollins 09:10:05 06/09/25 (2)

        You are uniquely qualified to determine which features are important or unimportant to others. Pretty impressive E-Stat.

        If one media/music server filled everyone's needs, there wouldn't be so many of them around! :)

        You two should form a LMS/PcP cheer leading squad. I'll look for you at the next audio show among a sea of Roon powered booths.
