I run Roon on my Synology and couldn't be happier. Finally a service where I pay for the software being developed and I'm not a product. Works very well and doe

  Same here except I run Roon on my homeserver with unRAID. The last thing I remember them trying to "up-sell" me on was their new "RoonARC" app which I now use all the time as it just allows remote streaming of my own music. The multiroom support with Roon is also very well implemented - I can move the music I'm listening to between rooms as I move throught the house or I can play the same music in multiple rooms simultaneously. Qobuz subscription for streaming and discovery, and I buy an album for keeps as a celebration of every payday - there's no nicer feeling than owning your own media! Disclaimer: I work in HiFi so may be a little biased towards the audiophile lifestyle.

  I should probably add that here is nothing "audiophiley" about Roon, in fact that label may be hurting the software and the business. It's just… well, a streaming service for your music. And it works really well. I was really annoyed by Sonos forcing obsolescence of their products. Their "S1" app doesn't work too well anymore. Roon gave a new life to my Sonos devices and they are first-class citizens again. So if you want to stream your music, Roon is a good way to do it. Yes, you need to run the "roon core" somewhere, but that's not a very high bar, and it gives you the ability to play your music anywhere using your phone (with the RoonARC app).
