Should I get a Roon Nucleus?

Hey folks,

I just discovered Roon after using Bluesound for years. I have the new Bluesound Node wired with a Cat7 Ethernet cable. I love the Roon interface. My node streams to both my Focal Arche and Rotel RA-1592. I just use Qobuz at this point (recently ditched Tidal). I have an iMac M1 as my Roon core currently. What do you think the Nucleus or the Nucleus+ would accomplish in my system? Thanks!

I think the Node is Roon ready, so you should be able to get a Roon license and connect to Qobuz.

Probably best to confirm with Bluesound...

I would also look at a Small Green Computer solution (ie i5 or i9).

Probably a waste of money if your digital source is a bluesound node. Unless you're having delays or some kind of performance problems with the iMac delivering the music to your node, there's probably no reason to get a nucleus. Is there a reason why you thought you might want one?
