What does Roon give me beyond just Tidal HiFi?

2021 the year of snarky 

So why do I need ROON than? I have tidel, and I don't have a big house only a apartment. and I tried to understand the REAL purpose of it, Please tell me what would my reason be to keep the service be ?

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).

I spent $450 on a ROON lifetime subscription in 2015 an amazing purchase. Here is what I use ROON for today:

#1 Running a Convolution filter for my small room system with big speakers in it. System sounds perfect. I know what not perfect is since I had that for a long time prior to the Convolution. I have done measurements on this too.

#2) Since last night, a Parametric EQ on the RAAL SR1a headphones to tame the harshness on my DAC. These headphones are uber revealing.

#3) Removed all ROON DSP for my Meze Empy’s not so revealing headphones

#4) Tidal (and last year also Qobuz) integration

#5) Multi room (or zone) support with access by iPhone, tablet, and computer(s)

#6 Musical discovery via recommendations. This is a new thing to ROON but an old thing to other services. ROON’s implementation is great.

#7 The GUI to filter and search. I think this a little annoying for my tastes but I also hate the Apple GUI’s.

I don't know if someone has addressed this but I believe roon has an app that allows multiple dac streams out of one PC. This could be really cool for house audio or equipment testing.
