Appropriate Apple table for Roon

Any Mac Mini and iPad will work. The new models with the M2 chip are ridiculously quick and does a fantastic job as a Roon core. I use one with external storage (Thunderbolt / USB C connection) to store my local audio files. I control it with my iPad (any model works) or iPhone. A USB cable connects it to the DAC in my preamp. I stream Qobuz and Tidal. Simple and works great. 

The roon controller can run on any tablet or phone. I keep it running in the background on my PC but find it likes to run better on my phone ad many aps now are optomized for the phone because that’s how the 22 yr olds that develop them do everything.

The phone/tablet is just a remote control.  the work is done in the Core and Endpoint.  So any tablet will be fine.

Sorry for the “table” typo in discussion title.  Thanks to all who have offered some advice here.  

The bigger the better. So, iPad Pro 12.9"

Hey John,

The heavy compute lifting is done in the core, so any tablet or phone will work, but definitely agree that physical screen size is the thing to consider.  How big is big enough for you to see and also not be too big that you don't like handling it?
