New roon on 20 April

Roon

System requirements slightly revised.
Linux

  • If you are running a modern Linux distribution since approximately 2019+, you should not be impacted.
  • We know popular distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, and Fedora are not impacted. If you aren’t sure, continue reading on how to test your system.

If affected …

  • Update your Linux distribution to a version that supports glibc 2.27 or above, and openssl-1.1.1 or above.

What Antipodes models are impacted?

We’ll see if the sound quality changes for the better, or for those who may prefer Roon for the worse.

I assume I won’t be able to use my iphone 6 as a controller anymore…

Works just fine with Jplay though.

Thanks for sharing! Perhaps @MarkCole can advise if any Antipodes models are affected.

I anticipate Antipodes may already have been aware and have communicated if there were any impacts. Lots on the go as of late though.

Current AMS v4 and v5 are above the minimum requirements

The new version of Roon was called OS3.0 but now the new update released is called 2.65. I downloaded it and with much anticipation I tried it out with my K50 set on Squeeze/Roon. It sounds good, I thought. I played a few songs and then switched back to MPD/Minimserver and using jPlay. No contest. With jPlay the soundstage opens up. The sound is larger, more airy and more crisp. The images and soundstage seem to go from 2D to 3D.

It reminds me of CDs twenty years ago. I would play a CD, think it sounded good and then I would put on a record. The images would move from 2D to 3D and the soundstage would open up, so much more expansive.

20 years ago I would listen to maybe one CD to warm up the system and then switch to vinyl. Now I can enjoy streaming/CDs as much as vinyl. The information was locked in the CDs all this time. And its still improving…

My DS 3 seems impacted. Since the Roon update I cannot connet to the core any more. Is this the end for my DS 3?.
I am new here because of this problem. Is it possible to get the AMS updated my DS 3 is running 2.5

v2.5 is very old software.
The device will need to be updated at a service center.
Please open an RMA if you wish for your software to be updated.
