ROON?

O thank you !! jjss49 :-)

Roon is definitely a pricey proposition versus utilizing native Connect methods that Tidal and Spotify use - if you have a compatible streamer. Quboz doesn’t offer a Connect feature that bypasses Bluetooth and allows you to stay in the app, and because of this, I feel like Roon really shines if using this particular streaming service. The big piece for me is that Roon allows you to tag albums and playlists which helps filtering by genre or mood (that you created). Worth it - meh, probably not, but I definitely try to utilize on the daily to justify the lifetime purchase prior to the increase. 
 

OP - if you have both Tidal and Quboz, the one benefit is that you could create playlist that include tracks from both services. Roon would also allow you to merge all of your albums in one place under Roon

I see Roon as a point of integration. I subscribe to both Tidal and Qobuz and log into those services in Roon. I would love to see more streaming services added to Roon. 
 

As others have said, you can create playlists from CDs from multiple services. 
 

Roon also provides multi-zone playback. I stream on two ELAC Discovery speakers in two bedrooms and on my main stereo. 

The new Roon ARC app let’s be stream my saved music when I am away from home.

I think Roon is awesome. I bought a lifetime membership many years ago and haven’t regretted it for a minute. 

I also have both Qobuz and Tidal and for me Roon takes the music you “liked” from each and curates the two services in to one interface. What I love about it is that’s it’s like every album cover that I use to hold and read when I was a kid while listening to the album came To LIFE w links to the band members and other band if similar to what you’re listening to. So it expands my vision of similar artists. 
send me down a deep rabbit hole of music. And I love it 

Roon a pricey proposition? What hobby are you in? When amps, speakers, and preamps costing $50,000 to over $500,000, or cables costing $10,000 for a few feet, a Roon lifetime purchase price is less than .10% of the sales tax that you will be paying for the above equipment. I purchased Roon 5 years ago and nothing else comes close
