With default DSP settings, volume leveling and headphones EQ on for correct type of headphones (in my case the Fiio FD7 balanced nozzle), Roon ARC sounds amazing on my FD7s!!! I just wish you could download Tidal / Soyuz songs for offline listening e.g. trips on Airplanes. A lot of experience, skills and thought has been put into this app, DSP, overall look and user experience. Amazing app! Well done Roon! Very impressed

With the relatively low reviews, I was expecting Arc to be a terrible experience. However, I absolutely love it! I set up a roon core on an old PC, which went smooth after watching a few YouTube videos. I did have to change my firewall settings to connect the core through my Wi-Fi. I think Roon Arc has a great interface, much better than Qobus and tidal (I'm a subscriber to both).

Arc logo loads, but that's as far as it gets. Roon core is running and indicates It's ready for ARC, but the app just doesn't work.

Absolutely unusable, unstable... just doesn't work. After relinking it to my home Room Nucleus for the third or fourth time I watched the circle spin around as I tried to use it in my car for 25 minutes straight. Then it finally seemed to connect with everything, and I clicked on an album to play, and it refused to load. If you like watching the circle spin around with no sound happening definitely download and use this app. All my music is directly available via Soyuz and Deezer. A waste of space

Never works. Plex Amp just works outside my house with no settings adjusted on my router. I followed the instructions for setting up port forwarding and Roon Arc still doesn't work. Moreover, Roon, after years of existing has still not implemented easy error reporting. You have to copy the error information and go into their forums to get a fix. It's a terrible experience.
