Roon 2.0 requires an active Internet connection at all times to work. And obviously Qobuz does as well. If your Internet connection goes down, use different software to access and play the locally stored music.

When the network (often) goes down you lose all remote control of a network player (streamer.)  You could load a "party" (huge) playlist (if you have the files) on random. It will continue to play but remote control will be lost until the network comes back up. I know of zero non network players available in 2023. I'm keeping mine.

 

I use a Aurender with a 2TB SSD and have like 500 CS on it, I can listen to that if my Internet goes out. Or get starlink

Most of us have little or no choice of providers, yet. Your experience has no bearing upon us. My electricial power has not failed in 10 years. Too bad for you that yours has.
