Thanks for your helpful response, Jeff. I'll PM you in a bit.
Best Server To Run Roon Core
Hi Folks,
I don’t currently run ROON, but would like to begin correctly in order to give it a chance - and I understand that server (hardware) on which Roon core is installed is important for SQ (due to noise reduction and other factors).
What are the best hardware for SQ and usability where ROON core should be installed and why (be it audiophile dedicated servers or modified PCs)? Please comment on the rest of your setup for context if you could.
Thank you in advance.

@jmarshak : congratulations on the Roon lifetime membership purchase. It is the best purchase I have ever made in audio back in March 2017 |
Thanks @thyname So as an update, I have the nuc running Rock OS headless, in a fanless case. Roon UI is flying! Also, SQ improved. But not sure if improvement is due to the new Core setup, or because the new DAC is continuing to break-in. Regardless,I am not complaining! Next, I would like to ad an LPS. I don’t have much hope that SQ will improve further, mainly because the core is not connected to the DAC directly (its connected through network), but figure it’s worth a try. |
