Not quite.
Let me TRY, I stress try to explain, because it is can be confusing.
Think of Roon as a hyper engineered replacement form DLNA. The designers claim, and others have agreed, that is a far superior network communication protocol for networked audio. It does EXACTLY what LMS, MiniMServer, or Jriver does..catalog and you library and send files to your file player/streamer.
Your DAC has nothing to do with Roon. Your streamer (SBT, BDP-2, Sonore, SOtM, whatever) must have firmware that can communicate in the Roon protocol.
Roon must run on your NAS or computer, again just like LMS.
The other benefit touted by Roon is the meta data enhancemnts
