Need Roon Advice.

Hello,

I'm new to Roon and have found their forum difficult to navigate. It's challenging to get a simple answer. On top of that, I'm not a computer wiz. I assume many of you use Roon and I hope you can help me.

I plan on using a separate PC just for Roon. I use Qobuz and have downloaded the required software. So far, I like it but I have an awful lot to learn.

When one is finished listening, how do you log off? I can disconnect but it's cumbersome to start all over when you decide to listen again. Maybe you just do not log off? Just stay connected. Regarding Roon ARC, it looks like you must leave your computer on and connected to use it. 

Thanks for your expertise!

I've been using a Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter with Roon from the inception when I bought a lifetime subscription.  It's always on and knock on wood, flawless.

With Arc you do have to open a port that is a potential vulnerability to your network.

I run my Roon Server on a QNAP NAS. The NAS has an 8th-gen i7 and 64GB RAM and Roon’s database lives on one of the NAS’ SSDs. If you already happen to have a QNAP or Synology NAS you could try running Roon Server on it before you spend big bucks on something you don’t need. And it’s dead-simple to set up. Seriously.

Oh yeah - the NAS is on all the time, so so is the Roon Server.

So, @audiotroy, what do you have to do to become a “Roon server specialist “?
