Seems like the people who are happiest with it end up with an NUC or nucleus running the core and have at least a few endpoints. A portable battery powered dac for headphones, main system and bedroom/kitchen could possibly be the most popular combination based on what I've seen on the forum.
I have 8 permanent endpoints at the moment. It took me a while to figure out if I liked Roon and what kind of endpoints I wanted to use. I really like the Ropieee endpoints, so combinations especially hardwired to the network.

I've already given up on it. Maybe prematurely. Maybe not. No sorting playlists by date is a huge dealbreaker for me. I just don't understand how they have such terrible playlist sort criteria. By song count? By length? Who cares about those!?
Also, it couldn't find my Chromecast when Tidal itself could which was irritating. It also did something weird where it would say 'This song is not available in Tidal.'
E.g. it would play the first track of an album, skip track two and three, but play four and the above error would appear.
I'd go to Tidal and the whole album is there and listenable... Was more frustrating than enjoyable.

Anyone using Roon only for a single endpoint? Trying to figure out if it's worth the expense purely for it's UI because that's all I really feel like I'm gaining currently. Currently using it with a Chromecast > TV > TOSLINK to integrated amp and it works nicely.
One thing that is already surprising is not being able to sort Tidal playlists by date created but you can in Tidal. Very annoying. That alone could be a deal breaker... I have over 1000 playlists and I tend to listen to the most recent ones most regularly.
