I use a qnap in one home, and a Synology in another. I've had zero problems. I'd give the edge to the qnap in terms of ease of use, but they both make it incredibly easy to install Plex or Minimserver music server software as "apps" and then with a control point on a phone or iPad, or even the CA app, you are ready to roll.
As it happens, I use a CA streamer as well. Settled on BubbleUPnP as a control point, with Minimserver on the NAS. This requires *very* little CPU time from the NAS. Both units are about four years old and going strong. Bubble integrates Qobuz and Tidal as well as Chromecast endpoints (in my kitchen and bedroom) so, like Roon, it puts everything in one place.
Roon is much more CPU intensive. But I think a newer QNap would still be fine. Ask them, they have good support.
