Until a few weeks ago I used Audiavanna with iTunes..I used a macbook via a few doodads to get to my dac.
I switched over to Roon mainly because of Tidal integration (I tried Tidal before but I didn't care for the interface.)
I will say that if you are about music first, this is absolutely the way to go. For two weeks now, I haven't wanted to leave my place. So much music at your fingertips. Roon makes searching thru music fun. I'm hoping the integration with Tidal gets even better at some point but I'm very happy.
Roon is on a Sonic Transporter which was about $350 and is tiny and quiet. That to me is the cool thing about Roon....you buy networking and computing stuff which is really cheap. Eventually I'll get a uRendu but right now I'm using Raspberry Pi's for $35 a piece and lots of pieces of cheap networking equipment....this doesn't break the bank.
