For what it's worth the guy I bought my Rossini and clock from had used the DCS gear he sold me with a Nucleus + and had upgraded to a Nucleus like device, same idea but way more money. He said it was a major improvement, I read reviews and it seems that they do say spending 20K on a core can yield some pretty incredible results. I have never tried but if you have the money and are looking for the very best I think there is more than the Nucleus + as far as the best of the best goes.
Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS
I’m considering a Roon Nucleus+ for streaming to dCS DACs. DCS says networked streaming is superior to USB on their DACs. As such, the easiest way to get content from local is a Roon Core. Is there any sonic advantage to something more expensive? The Nucleus will not be co-located with the audio rack - but will run on Ethernet and there will be no Wifi in the path. It seems like for networked listening, as long as the device can serve up the file quickly, there shouldn’t be a sonic advantage to other devices, but would certainly welcome information to the contrary.
