Roon - will this setup work and maximize sound quality?

[JeanF]

Interested in Roon. . currently have an Auralic Aries and am generally happy with it but it is limited for discovery, etc. So, thinking of replacing it and doing this:

Headless Mac Mini running Roon
- accessing music on my NAS
- accessing tidal
- connecting to my D200 via Air

Control will be from my ipad using the roon app.

So. . .will this work well?  Meaning that I can pick up my ipad and select songs from my library or Tidal and have them play (as my Aries does)?  Is the sound quality of Roon via Air the same as Air in general or does Roon do 'things' to the music?

Thanks

Nice set up, but you have to be keen to the fact that Roon on Mac in combination with Devialet Air is not working perfect when its switched to the ''Exclusive Mode''.
I have almost the same set up, except the Mac Mini (have Roon installed on my Windows 8.1 laptop and it works flawless, even with high res. music files)
The soundquality of the Roon - Devialet Air combination is absolutely better then my Moon 180 MiND renderer (with Teddy 12/2 powersupply) linked to the digital AES/EBU connection of the D200. Much bigger soundstage, more ''air'' around vocals and instruments and last but not least no frustrating hick ups or drop outs at all.
Have some plans to create a dedicate Roon server by using a Asus Vivopc with Windows 8.1 or 10 and control it by the Roon app on my iPad.
