I think there was a divorce between QNAP (NAS) and Roon, due to
QNAP security advisory for Roon Server...
Although just 4 years ago, QNAP was the Roon recommended NAS.
The Roon Core recommendation (from my understanding) is installing/running it from the most "capable" machine... thus, to run it from a NAS (no matter how capable a CPU) is not the ideal solution. But there is a trade-off if the library is quite large; for privacy and convenience to install on the NAS. I think, due to some security issues, Windows10 changed the process of mapping network (NAS) drives (*w/i OS). See
this link for example solution.
I was going to install Roon 60-day trial (but
momma raised no fool) >> I actually read thru the Roon EULA, and their 'Privacy Policy" is NOT to my liking.

What information is Roon server collecting from me?
It has been said "All is as secure as can be, until it is found not to be!"
