Sorry, its actually easier than you think. Because there are 10 ways to skin the cat, it gets overly complicated.
Roon Core (the software) has to live somewhere..in my case on a little headless box (Sonic Transporter) but it could be on your Mac or a Windows machine or even(if you have a powerful enough one) an NAS drive.
The music can be stored on anything....a hard drive attached to your computer, an NAS drive, or probably even a thumb drive. Roon will even recognize your iTunes library if you want it to..
From there, you don't even need an iPad if you don't want one. You can control it from your Mac.
At a minimum (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) you could load Roon onto your mac, use the same HD you have been using and use the same dac you have been using still connected to your Mac.
Its that easy.
The complications come when you build the system to work in different rooms. Ignore that for now.
