Benefits of Roon:
- Let’s you mix your collection of personal files with hi-res streaming services like Tidal and Qobuz
- Let’s you transcode / upsample music from streaming services (for me transcoding to DSD has sonic benefits)
- Roon Radio will basically give you lossless Pandora
- Lots of streaming endpoint clients
- MQA decoding in software if your DAC doesn’t support it natively
