I'll add couple more thoughts to what Steve already said.I like the fact that the user interface is fast and reliable on my iPad. It is very responsive or snappy. It scrolls through album art very quickly.
I like the way I can easily choose my audio output device from the iPad. In my case I choose between the MyTek DAC in my office, the microRendu in the basement, or the AppleTVs in the family room or bedroom.
As Steve also mentioned Roon Advanced Audio Transport (RAAT) does a fine job of handling PCM or DSD on it's own. It sounds great, but it can also integrate very easily with HQPlayer for perhaps another small increment in audio performance.
Roon is just a very well thought out library manager with rich metadata and a smooth reliable player. I know that various network players come with their own Apps but Roon has set the bar much higher than the rest so going back to another App will be, well, a step backward IMHO.
When I read about and consider new network players I place a lot of weight on whether the device is RoonReady. The reviewer has to cover this in his review or the device maker has to have the "RoonReady" check box checked in their spec sheet or I lose interest.
