Hysolid looks like a cool program, and I see that it is available in the Mac App Store but I got a message that it is not compatible with MacOS. Looks like it is iPhone/iPad only?
Not sure what you mean by "$800 startup fee". Roon is free for 30 days then monthly or yearly subscription after. Like most apps these days.
As you described, I limped along with various open source server/dlna options for several years until Roon came along. Twonky was the best, but it went under. Plex and LMS are serviceable but quirky and don't work nearly as smoothly as Roon.
I think the difference is that I am not operating alone in some sort of mancave. I live with a family of inquisitive music lovers, and we all enjoy sharing a collective library that everyone contributes to. Sometimes we listen together and sync the same music to multiple devices throughout the house. Other times we are all listening individually in different places on different devices, from the same server. Roon does the best of anything I've found in dealing with those complexities.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
