Will local files come to be regarded as being as obsolete as turntables?

After all, you can’t listen to your records or CDs or reel-to-reel tapes or cassette tapes or 8-track tapes with Roon, even before 2.0

actually you can with smart extra additions like rooExtend and an ADC and another roon extension that does something similar - in Tinkering

Entrypoints, the audio entrance to Roon, made the move to HiRes!

Entrypoints is a collection of Roon extensions that act as an input to your Roon system. Music from input devices like turntables, cd players and phones can be streamed to Roon zones and can use the Roon specific features like DSP. Entrypoints is the continuation of the development that was done for the CD Player extension. The CD Entrypoint is the improved version of the CD Player, making the latter obsolete. You can read about Entrypoints on its Wiki, make sure to also watch the Introduction…
