I use Roon, too.
Objectively, it's too expensive for what it is, and as @Airhead says, the search is lamentable. But i keep paying for it; must be in my 4th or 5th year.
Why? Because the basic playback functionality is very good, it's simple to use, Tidal integration is good, and it just works.
Every now and then I consider binning it off and going back to the latest version of JRMC, which is a much better value proposition, but i'm too lazy to bother. So Roon stays.
@Velocio I use a windows laptop (dedicated to the purpose, it never moves from my records / hifi shelves) running Roon into a USB DAC. The laptop is connected to my NAS and Internet via Ethernet. It's a pretty effective, if a little inelegant solution.
