I have 3 connects - one to a big system and one to really nice dedicated eadphone setup.

2 Sonos amps, two Play3s, one Play5, and one Playbar for my t.v. (probably my favorite).

As you can see, I’m totally in on Sonos.  They all work well. 

I have been wondering about a next upgrade.  When I look at the weakest in the chain - it seems to be my connects even though they all go into current DAC’s (two even are re-clocked with Empirical Audio devices).

I’m eyeing an Allo DigiOne Signature for $500 (server with no amp).  BUT to go in, I must replace the software that accesses it all.  Next up seems to be Roon.  Quite a big investment but am willing to do it.

1. My big question is - how fast is the Roon interface with a really good core.  Is it as fast at accessing tracks?  Is it as fast or even faster?
