BluOS versus Roon library question


Hi all, I'm currently trying a 30-day trial of Roon through my new PS Audio DSJr. I like Roon a lot but not sure if I like it that much at the cost, plus I prefer not to have a computer running 24/7 for the core. I have read about Bluesound/BluOS being a great app as well and am thinking about giving that a go. I know I can't stream straight to my DSJr with BluOS but since Roon costs $500 for a lifetime license, I could buy a Bluesound Node 2i for the same price and not have to leave a computer on all the time. The main thing Roon provides that I want to keep is the direct library integration between my local music and Tidal. When I browse my Roon Library, all my ripped CDs and my saved Tidal albums are intermixed. This is great because when I want to shuffle through music it makes no difference if it's local or on Tidal. I love the ability to basically mix and match music sources all together. Does anyone know if BluOS has this same kind of functionality? If I have to go to Tidal within BluOS and only listen to music there, separate from my locally stored CD rips, that would probably be a deal killer for me.

Hopefully this hasn't already been answered. I searched the forum here and googled and couldn't find a clear answer to how BluOS handles libraries across "services".

Thanks a lot

Bluesound doesn’t do weekends, doesn’t do Holidays, and hasn’t any calls at all for in 3 weeks.  Just sayin
when it was working, it treated my files in my Vault2 and in my NAS as separate folders, even though I had transferred my Vault2 to my NAS.  I seriously doubt that it will integrate your Tidal albums with your or storage sites, but I can’t speak from experience
