No idea how you are managing 120 a day. Are you ripping securely with dbpoweramp. I'm trying to rip a Mozart box set with 25 discs in and I've had 3 that won't rip securely which slows the process massively.
I guess you don't miss the extra metadata stuff that Roon does. I used to run Amarra as an iTunes plugin before Roon came along. I liked the difference it made. Sometimes it's enough that the software communicates more directly with the sound card and misses out the os mixer.

Yes dB poweramp secure. Read speed set at 40x, compression set to default, FLAC 44.1/16. Getting through roughly 10/hr, album art and track names take about 20secs to retrieve. I don’t bother re-ripping inaccurate tracks, the ones I’ve tested play back fine, although I’m sure I’ll find some blips and thumps.
The Roon metadata would be nice, but Audirvana is a stop-gap while Im playing direct from the laptop. I’ll be rendering through Volumio once I bring my streamer in which is as basic an interface as they come. Then when I set up some sort of server I’ll probably buy Roon.

After a pretty solid day and a half I’ve got 120CDs ripped. Jesus this is going to be a long old do. I’ve exhausted my Roon trial so I’ve had a go at Audirvana. Seems alright. Rips definitely sound a bit more sparkling and dynamic vs Tidal streams as I can play them back to back on this. Best thing is being reminded of a heap of albums I’d forgotten about.
