Why would I need Roon?


I have a Blue sound streamer with plenty of files at my fingertips, via a hard drive plugged in the back and multiple streaming services. Can someone help me understand what Roon would add to my set-up? Thanks.

OP.  You need something to run Roon Core.  A decent PC will work and some but not all NAS drives will work.  You can find plenty of suggestions on the Roon website.  

If you intended to use Roon long term, I suggest to invest in a decent NUC - especially, if you intend to use some of Roon’s more resource intensive DSP capabilities like upscaling.  Roon has by far the best music management interface and capabilities of any software that I’ve used to date.  To enjoy it, you’ll need a capable Roon Core host device.
