I see this is a well known matter, but none of the threads seem to solve my issue. Been running roon for a about a month now, (new user) core 1.5 mac os 10.13.4. And just today, I get this error message after the music quits playing.
Thank you for your report, @David_G! We always appreciate your feedback.
To start, may I kindly ask that you please provide a brief description of your current setup using this link as a guide.
Make sure to describe your network configuration/topology, including any networking hardware currently in use, so we can have a clear understanding of how your devices are communicating.
May I also ask that you please verify the following:
As @Carl mentioned (thanks, Carl!), have you tried rebooting your router? I also recommend power cycling your Core machine as well as any endpoints.
Do you have any firewall or antivirus enabled on your Core machine?
After rebooting my home router, Core appears to be running without the error notice. But I have mainly just been streaming internet radio. I’ll have to try albums later. And yes, the DAC does play outside of Roon, via the PSA suggested mControl App. Oddly however, if I stream with mcontrol, then try and switch over to Roon, Roon delivers a message that the transport cannot be found. When I reboot the PSA PWD, the issue goes away. It seems as if the mcontrol does not want to ‘release’ the DAC for other software to discover it? Just guessing on that.
I just wanted to check in and make sure that everything is still going okay here for you.

Yes, it sounds like the app has exclusive control over the DAC at that time which does not allow Roon to make use of it.
