I currently have a multiple Squeezebox setup. Roon will give me a low cost entry to an MS200 based system. Anything else will be a bonus.

I thought that the M Core hardware was expensive and unnecessarily restrictive too in terms of having to buy expensive hard drives from Meridian/Dealer if you wanted to upgrade the storage. To get a semi decent Sooloos system I needed an MC200, MS200 and an iPad. For Roon I only needed an MS200, subscription and an Nexus 9. M start up cost (second hand £1800) Roon startup £600 + subscription.

I like the idea of being able to replicate my personal music collection to Tidal with ease so I can get instant access to it wherever I can get onto Tidal which Roon should facilitate.

Android app support is another bonus.

I can't say at this stage how much benefit/enjoyment I will get from the other features as I haven't had the similar features in Sooloos before. It sounds like the Roon integration with Tidal will be unprecedented.

Cheers
Tom
