I very recently built a Unraid server and am fixing to load all my music on it and integrate it into my 2 channel audio system.
I'm looking at various Unraid dockers and trying to figure out the best approach. I am a Tidal subscriber so Roon looks good since it incorporates Tidal and would let me use both my music and Tidal together. I have a Chromecast audio that I can use on my preamp so long as Roon can use that in a Unraid server environment (not sure).
Plex does the same....but what is the audio quality of Plex compared to Tidal? Would there be any difference?
There is also Emby.
I dont HAVE to have Tidal incorporated into the same app but it would be nice. Roon is ridiculously expensive at $120 per year....ludicrous if you ask me. There are many similar apps that are nearly free! At $120/yr it should include music....basically it should be a Tidal. Anyway, I'd like to find good alternatives but am prepared to go with Roon if I have too.
Whatever I go with, I want to be able to control it using a android phone app. Roon has one but it's pretty low rated, Plex has one highly rated.
What are other Unraid users in here using?
