When I first bought an Expert 200 in mid 2015, I had a very difficult time using Devialet AIR (as did most I eventually learned). But I was a big LMS/Squeezebox fan so I simply streamed LMS to a Squeezebox in front of my Expert 200. When I first heard that Roon was directly supporting Squeezeboxes as endpoints in late 2015, I dumped LMS and bought a lifetime license to Roon after a short trial period. Best decision I ever made.
Later, when Roon announced integration of AIR, I was ecstatic and quickly switched to using AIR to my Expert via Roon. Another huge win for Roon. Now, 4 1/2 years later, I cannot imagine listening to music without Roon. They have done an amazing job, not just with their software, but with their proactive forums, communication and support. Nothing is perfect and there are certainly areas they can (and likely will) improve, but if you're looking for best practices, Roon is about the best I've seen.
