Agreed.

I looked at the Roon website but it looks like it is more geared at playing music on multiple devices. Something I have no use for.
No more nor less than JRiver.

So I am curious if there are any advantages in a dedicated system.
The primary advantage of ROON is the wealth of meta and ancillary data that they provide. It is not perfect but it is impressive. The GUI is distinctive and one's response to it is subjective. You have got to try it to find out if it is for you.
