The one thing I'd suggest - if you think you'll ultimately use the headless server version and control mainly via iPad - is install the RoonServer version straight away. You can also install the normal version of Roon on the same machine, and you can use this in control mode for the gui. The advantage of this is you can close the normal Roon or even uninstall it later if you don't need a local gui, but RoonServer will always be running in the background from day 1.
If you start with full Roon, and later want to go to RoonServer, it's not actually that difficult to swap over, but doing it up front saves you the effort.
Oh I thought I have understood it all. OK, once I have my iMac, I should install both Roon and RoonServer on the machine. With Roon, my iMac is the Control. With RoonServer, the iPad is the Control. I'll play around with both and see which I like better.
