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.
Seems like you've got a good idea of the direction you're going in. Roon radio would be perfect for a public space, especially if you limit it to your own library.
Roon radio with Tidal and Qobuz to choose from really needs a good starting point in terms of genre.
