Ditto, I have the 4TB version which I got ex-demo from Lee at Strictly Stereo.

Youâd definitely need a min of 2TB if not more.
The 1TB is the smallest and I wasnât bothered as 99% of what I play is streamed from tinterwebs.

How are you finding 2.0 so far?
Dunno. I just updated today. Iâm not touching anything though as I am sticking with Roon.
TL;DR Not arsed to change it over from Roon.
No wifi on the Zen kit?
Pants.

Trained on the NYT forum you say?
Goes off to research mortal insults in Romany and Polari.
Jesus Christ theyâve only gone and fixed the Linux memory leak thatâs been there for 5 years! And itâs now much faster on QNAP and other wheezy lower end devices.

Not getting enough positive feedback from the faithful? Start your own self-selecting circlejerk. Problem over.

Holy fuck just had a look and that new version is a colossal clusterfuck, nice to see Roon are still up to their old tricks and blaming their customers for the database corruption.
Fucking bellends.
Glad I walked away from that shitty software as the Innuos has been excellent so far.

The problem is that quite a few bits of manufacturer specific software is just so heroically shit that Roon looks immense by comparison. Iâve got a item on test at this very moment thatâs;
- Well made
- Well specified
- Nice to look at
- Able to play video files too so I can alternate between listening to dadrock and watching pornography on it. A spread of abilities that I had no idea I needed until it arrived.
But the software⌠the software is fucking awful. Itâs been put into the process for Roon cert and, when it gets it, it will be drastically better.

Do most of them still use some DLNA thing like Twonky? Thatâs OK in many ways, as itâs good at actually playing music reliably, but itâs neither sophisticated nor pretty.
As soon as a hifi manufacturer starts to write their own music software I can just see a world of pain coming.
Roon doesnât support UPnP or DLNA, they wrote their own one called RAAT which has a really shit implementation of mDNS and service discovery.
Itâs difficult to describe from a network perspective what an utter pile of wank it is.
Ironically, this one is proving awkward because it tries to do more. I can access my NAS over DLNA and itâs perfectly stable. I should be able to have it scan the NAS library and it build its own database on the unit itself but it shits the bed each time.
On the other hand, fleshtones on screen are excellent, even with the crypto HDR running.
