I find this tread very strange indeed, hearing many of you talking about all the problems that streaming and computers make in your life!
I 2 years ago installed Roon on my MacBook Pro, I have my music library on a 2tb ext hd, that’s get copied to an other 2tb hd every week automatically, usb from my computer to my Dac into my amp, with my iPad I control Roon with Tidal, everything easy and relaxing in use, sound is wonderful, so wonderful that I never use my Meridian 588 anymore, as I think the Roon nucleus is too expensive for what it is, I am probably going to upgrade to an iMac or a Mac mini where I also can do my photo editing, but using a pro-ject Ethernet endpoint into my usb Dac. As with CD players, in streaming your Dac is the most important part, streaming just makes everything easier.
ps... after. Getting all my cd collection on my hd, I now, when I buy a cd, inport it streight away into Roon without ever playing it in my CD player.
