Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS?

Roon is a great add on to Tidal, if you like how they organize your music which is quite good. Also IMO the main reason to have Roon is the discovery feature that shows similar music to what your listening. great way to find new music. DARCO did a very good review of Roon its on youtube. 

Most people copy their CD's to their NAS. Or DL'd music

It takes forever to Copy your CD's so yes. Not really a money pit once its done you make a back up and your good. just the cost of the NAS and Streamer-computer 

If you don't already have the Digital music you don't need a NAS,  Unless you need to listen with out an internet connection (so your going to DL your music from the internet).

 I'd just get a streamer  with Tidal - Roon ready and be done. 

I was going to go  NAS but in the end Tidal seems to have everything I wanted anyway so IMO no reason to spend the time copying just stream. 

you do know you need to also run one of the streaming services as well ( if you do not have music stored locally) as Roon. Roon is only an interface and organizing program not a streamer in itself. so you will need a tidal, Spotify etc account as well as ROON. Also an internet conection. 

I run a small form computer outputted to a DAC, running tidal-roon on the computer. I have a tv in my listening room so i can use that as a monitor and i added a wireless keyboard with a track pad. Works for me. I will be going to a dedicated server though eventually as it will sound better then the computer and its noisy power supply.

One thing to note I would not post your looking for free music - coping someone else's music etc.  as that goes against recording industry law. Pirating. Keep that stuff to your self
