Best Server To Run Roon Core

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,

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.

Hi David, pretty much all aspects of the presentation improved. Everything just seems quieter, calmer, more musical. So all the things that come along with that in any given system will vary I suppose, for me it was not a small difference from the Nucleus. Nucleus can be dry overall, but for the money does a great job. Is the K50 worth the extra cost? I think so, but like alot of impactful hifi gear it's expensive. So thats really a separate more subjective conversation. I am happy with the investment.
