You want the supplier to make that complexity a piece of cake for you. That is what Meridian and Sooloos did and I don’t think Roon is quite there yet, at least in getting started, but I will try and see for myself.
Roon also do this in form of their Nucleus product ... it can be purchased from a dealer and then you get dealer support (and home installation for a fee of course) for it as well.
Think of a Nucleus as a MC200 but with lots more power, flexibility and functionality... connect it to your LAN, load your music, point it at your DAC (direct USB or suitable network connected DAC/Endpoint) ... use a remote of your choice to control it (I use an iPad Air 2) ...
Roon also supports internet radio streaming, it's a bit "clunky" right now (you have to supply the URL) but work is a foot to improve this.
Subscription to Tidal and/or Qobuz music services are optional but worth trialing.

Carl
