Same experience. An alternative to the Raspberry Pi (a bit more $, but no set-up required) is the SotM Neo. I use it as an endpoint for both Roon and JRiver, feeding into a Chord DAC. Zero issues, a true 'appliance'.
But all our Sonos components (legacy and new) show up (and work) for Roon and JRiver, so no problems there either.
*SOtM uses the RAAT protocol for Roon and DLNA for JRiver; does the Raspberry Pi do the same?
