I use a Roon Nucleus+ and I'm happy with it BUT if all you want to stream is services like Tidal and Qobuz, if you're not also streaming music from your own hard drive, I would not suggest Roon as a streaming option.
The reason is simple. You have to pay a subscription to use Roon and you also have to pay a subscription separately for your streaming services. There are other options you can use to connect to those streaming services without paying a subscription to anyone other than the streaming service.
I use Roon because I also have a large music library of my own stored on my Nucleus+. If I did not have that stored library I would not be using Roon.
