Just to be clear you do not want to use the AIR protocol built into Roon, correct?
Otherwise, I would recommend purchasing an Intel NUC and adding a second SSD to it, a 2TB SSD from Samsung should handle all your albums with ease.
Intel NUC i5 (NUC6I5SYH) with 8GB memory, small M.2 boot drive, and 2TB SSD. I run ROON Rock on it. You can playback both your FLAC files and use Tidal. Flawless in operation for me, and sounds wonderful via an ethernet connection. I have not tried using it with a USB connection to Devialet.
