Best Server To Run Roon Core

I'm a happy camper using a Roon Nucleus and a Lumin streamer. I can not tell any difference in SQ when running Qobuz with the Roon or when running the native Lumin software. When I used a computer to run Roon the SQ was as not as good.

Lot's here (the forum) on cleaning up your ethernet too. 

So for those of us who don't have a degree of interest in IT and network; is there a server that Roon behave with more stability and less of the never- ending bugs?

@mdrone I think this issue mostly is software evolution, not problems with Roon servers. Roon tries to do a major release 2x/year, more or less. Some releases have had bugs quickly fixed. Other complaints have often been some users preferring old look, etc. 

Overall, IMHO, Roon has done a better job than many software companies making mostly good decisions about what new features to add first, etc. There's certainly plenty more to do, but I feel their track record points to a reasonable likelihood that it will continue to be the best overall option in the market. 

Some releases do require the server companies to make updates. A handful of companies have proven to work quickest and most effectively with the Roon team to minimize issues. For example, quoting from Roon's own forum about their last major update:

I'd give serious consideration to running Roon Core on one of the products from these companies. In my case, SGC has worked great and when I had an issue, received superb support to resolve it, even though the problem was a Roon setting rather a problem with the server. Cheers,

Spencer

“handful of companies have proven to work quickest and most effectively with the Roon team to minimize issues.”
 

This should be a prime consideration of picking Roon compatible hardware. My Merging +player has worked flawlessly from day one and updates are instantaneous and seamless.

@jc51373 Can you share what you gained (overall impressions and results) by going to the "top of the line Antipodes" versus the Roon Nucleus?  Thanks.
