I am a Luddite trying to come from a Meridian/Sooloos system to a Meridian/Roon system.
HARDWARE
Meridian 861v6>v8+ID41 with:
-Qnap TS-251A 2-bay
-2X WD Red 1TB NAS Hard Disk Drive
-iPad control
SYSTEM
Roon core is installed in my Qnap. Qnap > router > ID41 in my Meridian 861.
I use the iPad or my PC to control Roon.
