Pretty much what triodesteve said. It doesn't have to be complicated so don't go there, yet. First, make sure your Mac Mini is on the network. Hardwired is preferred but Wifi will work. Then....
Step 1
Since you already have a Mac Mini why not focus your efforts there? Just load the complete Roon package on the Mac Mini. Launch and setup Roon. It will recognize your iTunes music library. Now use your mouse, keyboard, computer screen as you normally would to navigate Roon. Now play your music from Roon. Enjoy. Step 1, done.
Step 2
Assuming you were able to make Step 1 work, step 2 is to simply grab your iPad, iPhone, Android Phone, or Android Tablet and load the Roon Remote App on it from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Make sure this device is on your Wifi network. Launch the Roon App. The Roon App will 'find' your Roon Core (on the Mac Mini). You can now navigate your library and control the music from the tablet or phone. Enjoy. Step 2, done.
Until you get Steps 1 and 2 done and working to your satisfaction, don't bother with anything more 'complex'. My approach is always take the simplest route first, understand it, then expand from there.
