Streamer question

Please pardon my ignorance, but I've researched and I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

I currently house my music library in this configuration: NAS > PC > USB > DAC > RCA > Integrated amp. I use Roon as my primary and the Roon core is on an SSD plugged into the NAS. I run Tidal via Roon.

I'm looking for a streaming device to eliminate the USB cable, but that allows me to stream from my personal library (using Roon) as well as Tidal (while not using Roon).

Roon is flaky for me and sometimes I find it's not worth the hassle of dealing with, so I'd like to option to simplify things and stream directly from Tidal.

Everything I see is for streaming from a service (Roon/Quboz), but I'm not finding much on streaming my own personal library as well.

Hope this makes sense. Any help appreciated!

I'm just curious here, but could you give me an example of an artist that has over 1000 albums?  Thanks.

Currently the streamer giving you the best sound quality under $500 that could play local usb storage files is CA MXN10. Take advantage of $100 saving now in holiday.

I don't have many tracks, so not an issue for me. I tend to stream everything from Qobuz, so don't feel the need to store music.

But curious, when was this you had this issue- before or after May 2024? Because that is when Roon developed and permitted "folders". Again, I never paid much attention as I don't have folders to worry about, but just curious if it would work now.

Before 2024

Prob late 22 early 23

I'm mildly curious as well but no way I'm giving them another dime after my dance with them.

Despite them having the worst customer service on the planet w/Comcast being it's only competitor ....if you just stream it's likely a great product.

More to discover
