It replaces it, like LMS on steroids. Not free though but (to me) very much worth it.
Early version didn't do internet radio latest one does.
The Discover feature in Roon is becoming a favourite feature for me, presents a selection of Artists, genres, particular musicians or even record labels from your collection and lets you browse.
Rediscovered a lot of stuff I forgot I had this way.
* They do a 14 day free trial, check it out.
Had a try playing directly from a usb stick into the Oppo to the Dac?
Quite impressed sound wise ctually, though the interface is a bit cack.
