Roon Core
Transferred my Roon Core to my MacBook Pro from the Windows 10 PC. Much better sound.
I have already noticed that difference even before Roon. MacBook Pro consistently better sound whether it was USB or Optical out through my Schiit Gungnir Multibit. When I installed Roon it was to my PC. Now that I transferred Roon Core to MacBook the difference is still not insignificant. Doesn't seem to matter if I use my MacBook Roon>Wifi>Oppo>coax digital>DAC or MacBook>optical>DAC, it is still better than Windows PC all around.. Why? Looking for a logical explanation but can not seem to find one. |
Have you tried running Bootcamp and putting Windows on the MacBook Pro?

I think the explanation may be that my aging windows pc is using a slower spinning hard drive vs the SSD hard drive on my MacBook... :scratch2: Roon Core should be run on SSD.

I'm note sure I understand the point of doing that if Serge has Roon running on his MacBook Pro?:scratch2: |

That removes the hardware from the equation. And then the variable is just the OS. Bootcamp is reversible without the need to reformat the MAC partition. You can resize the Mac partition with Disk Utility and create a Bootcamp partition and then install Windows. If you don’t want the windows partition anymore just delete the windows partition. And resize the Mac partition back to the full drive. |
I figured it out. One of my USB ports was flaky. Of course that was the one I was using! :smoking: Everything makes sense now. PC and Mac are now equal!

After tracking my CPU utilization and getting it down into below 10% everything is smooth and peachy. The background apps were killing my CPU
