I have written more on Roon in another post, for serious listening I am using a Meridian endpoint with Meridian DSP speakers. Roon also includes integration of our TIDAL account. I maintain an iTunes library on an old Mac Pro, and sync the library out to the NAS every once in awhile. I am re-ripping a few CDs to replace lossy files with lossless ones now using dBpoweramp, which is the way to go, good for meta data and lets you check accuracy of rips. I have the server running on a small hackintosh with files sitting on NAS. Probably best from a large touchscreen computer, but also great using an iPad to control. Roon is a great way to explore and send music around the home, including sending high resolution music to high quality endpoints. You could go with a whole-home system like Crestron or Control4, but Roon and Plex are more focused applications with deeper functionality, and they play nice with each other and with hardware most people already have. I am in the process of updating our home audio and video distribution and am of the opinion that Roon is the way to go with music, and Plex is the way to go with video.
