What does Roon give me beyond just Tidal HiFi?


With Tidal I seem to be able to play an unlimited selection of streaming music either selecting albums, creating song lists or inradio mode as well as playing my own ripped cd collection.
Is there something more than this that Roon offers?

Mainly Room gives me precious time. It's not perfect but it's like my accountant. It worries about things like bit-perfect and device integration so I don't have to. DSP functionality can be useful too.
If you are using a single streaming service, with a single end-point, and are not interested in the DSP capabilities, then I would say none.  I have several end points, use a few different services, and play around with a bunch of different components and often have friends bring stuff over (or did pre-covid).
