  I guess it depends on what genres and how obscure your music choices are. I find lots of things on Deezer, for example, that aren’t on Qubuz. If Roon ever integrates with Deezer I might add that along with my Qobuz subscription.  I had it fo... 
Radio Paradise becoming repetitive?
SOMA.  only plays at 320kbp but if you got a upsampling DAC it still sound purdy good especially for Wall Paper listening.

HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range
My understanding is ROON does not do that and pulls music from all your digital sources seamlessly (?) Yeah Roon would display your local library integrated with your online streaming service.   I can't speak to that as my local file storage is...

I have a Sonos Port that will serve as a pre amp....     If you get some extra $ and want to doll up the port check this out.  I upgraded a ZP90 many moons ago , still running strong and use it as a ROON endpoint on my HT setup.

Might consider a PS Audio S300 (class D).  You can pick those up for ~$1k used.    And +1 on The Rogue Suggestion and Parasound.  
Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home
My dealer has let me demo speakers, turntables , subs, DACS.  They even let me demo a pair of Focal and Sonus Faber at the same time.  But I dont ever do it unless I am committed to buy from them and they know that.  I would never demo and then bu...
