I am using a loaner Source One to run core in my FLORIDA system using a QNAP for store(soon core). I was speaking to Marc Koval about the options and costs yesterday. My conclusion, which he did not take issue with, is (at these prices) why wouldn't you want both, just as a matter of convenience. Roon can access existing Sooloos info and improve on my less than well groomed, full of duplicates 120,000 track collection. Just hiding the duplicates will help me immensely.
Ronnie provides a good cost summary with all the appropriate assumptions discussed and involved amounts disclosed. This allows for argument and recasting the data and assumptions ad nauseous 😏
As a retired PWC audit partner, I had forgotten how entertaining an unfolding cost accounting scrum can be. What's hard to argue with is that the additional cost of adding Roon to most HHikers setups are easily smuggled into a household budget.
