agreed...Roon implementation was beautiful. You can play MQAs or hires and it was done really well but you need to invest hundreds of dollars for the software and more for a core. I've tried using my wife mac as a core but it's not feasible. for the same money i could acquire a better item which has embedded tidal connect (although roon search capability and AI are brilliant).
I'll be happy to stick to spotify connect hi res
I used Spotify and Sonos for many years but switched over to Tidal/Roon last year. I Love Roon although its certainly not cheap. t am only so/so on Tidal and still keep my Spotify subscription for music exploration and Carplay integration. I really only use Tidal for its hi-rez support and its integration with Roon. If Spotify goes Hi-Res (and does a good job with it), I'll reconsider how I'm using Spotify/Tidal. The consequnces of that decision might mean rethinking Roon and maybe even some of my hardware (unless the Mini-i adds support for Spotify Connect).
Alternatively, If Apple adds hi-rez support to Airplay that might create some additional options (like using the Mini-i and streaming Roon/Spotify through Airplay).
