Tom,
Your post at least helps me to orient myself as to what sort of effort will be required. This knowledge is a step in the right direction for me. My system is as follows. Don't feel obligated to dig into it. But any advise from someone with such long experience could save some miles on the...

I started using Roon a couple of years ago. Have used it in a single server setup...
