One question I have been wondering about though - with the world moving towards 'Streaming' as the main source of most peoples listening experience do you think Library Management Systems like ROON continue to be popular?

Hello James - interesting question. We combine Roon and Bryston very succesfully. One of my Roon mainstays, especially, working from home, is select a track or album from our library, whatever genre strikes me, and then let Roon radio take over. It has worked very well and their algorithm for selecting music is the best I have experienced so far.

If we did not have a library at all? Unlikely we would have considered Roon.
