Roon on laptop to dac to preamp ?

NOOB ?

I currently use Tidal on a laptop via USB to my Brooklyn DAC then to my Rogue preamp. 

I want to use Roon for the remote control ease. I will install Roon on my laptop and phone and am assuming this would still be the proper path to listen to my music. I will also be adding an external drive with my music library on it. 

Am I safe to say this work?
