Daniel J SaitRoon, the innovative music experience aimed at music lovers, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month. What began in 2015 as a specialised platform for audiophiles has evolved into a popular companion for music enthusiasts worldwide, all while staying true to its founding vision of delivering the ultimate immersive experience for passionate music collectors and listeners, says the platform.
Throughout its journey, Roon has delivered innovations that have fundamentally transformed how its customers engage with music, says the company. From its pioneering RAAT streaming protocol to the respected Roon Ready device ecosystem, advanced sound processing and the Roon ARC mobile app, each advancement has been desinged to enrich the listeners’ connection to music. This record of ingenuity led to Harman International’s acquisition of Roon in 2023, allowing the company to strengthen its commitment to customers and accelerate technological advancements. Recent developments under Harman include the premium Nucleus One and Titan hardware products, Roon Ready Relay vinyl playback and the community-driven OPRA headphone optimisation tool. Look out for an Essential Install review of the Titan coming very soon!
