Nucleus, is there a better alternative?

@jumia, a Roon Nucleus with a good LPS makes sense if you’re all in on using Roon like I do to just pick music tracks from Tidal and Qobuz. With my Apple iPad and iPhone it is super easy to navigate through tens of millions of songs and albums at the touch of my finger.

I keep the signal path from my router to my headphones as simple and short as possible. To me what’s more important than having a fancy music server and/or streamer is having clean power running through your system, and eliminating as much RFI and EMI as possible from getting into your mains. That way you can have an inky black sonic floor that lets you enjoy the soundtrack from my daughters favorite movie right now. Disney’s Lightyear.

Regarding the Sonore opticalRendu and opticalModule Deluxe.  We continue to have opticalRendus in stock. The opticalRendu is undergoing a redesign which we do not yet have a delivery date for.  The new opticalModule Deluxe is in production.  Once we have a firm ship date, will will let everyone know.    

Mr. small green computer,

Why does the etherregen run so hot? It makes no sense at all. I have huge amps and some with tubes and they don't run nearly as hot as this thing does.

It seems rather dangerous to have a specifications let's say it's acceptable for it to reach 130°. Just seems crazy to me

Andrew, thought I saw OpticalRendu out of stock a few weeks ago. Anyway good to know they're in stock and OpticalModule now in production, looking forward to hearing OM (already have OR) in my system.
