Recently I installed the Roon trial and liked it quite a lot. The biggest problem was that Roon didn't find material for many of my preferred music styles and that the Roon control point on my iPad often loses connection to the main app. Otherwise, my setup:
Roon (using the iTunes library on my iMac) > Dirac Audio Processor (for room correction) > AIR > dedicated ethernet (fixed IP) > Dev 800
works perfectly. Above all, the iMac is dead silent. The very few times I noticed a problem with AIR was when some process on the Mac engaged in network activity simultaneously with AIR on a shared/switched ethernet connection. Ever since I use a dedicated fixed IP ethernet connection to the D I didn't notice any problem with AIR.
