Hell, you can run Roon Core on any network connected computer. If these prices seem steep, I won’t argue the point and there are certainly less costly options out there. you can also hang USB storage and/or a USB DAC off a Nucleus I have my music stored in a Synology NAS.
#AUDIRVANA PLUS 3 VS ROON INSTALL#
Roon offers 2TB (+$400) or 4TB ($800) of internal SSD storage, or you can install your own drive into its 2.5-inch SATA SSD bay (which will also fit a max 7mm high HDD but why even go there). Library size is self evident as are the number of zones you intend to play to, and if you are interested in digging deep into Roon’s DSP options, or in using HQPlayer ($265) with Roon, the Plus is the logical choice among Nuclei. The choice between these two options should be easy. Multi-room streaming: Over 6 simultaneous zonesĭSP capability: All DSP functions available Library capacity: Over 10,000 albums (100,000 tracks) Price (MSRP): $2,559 (includes one year Roon subscription) Multi-room streaming: Up to 6 simultaneous zonesĭSP capability: All DSP functions available in the PCM domain, certain combinations of functions using DSD, upsampling, or multichannel processing may not be possible Library capacity: Up to 10,000 albums (100,000 tracks) Price (MSRP): $1,459 (includes one year Roon subscription) There are two basic options (taken from the Roon website): The Nucleus runs on an optimized for Roon by Roon Linux platform and is built on Intl NUC bones. There are less expensive solutions out there, as well as more costly ones, but if you want the shortest route between you and playing stored and streamed music from Roon, I recommend buying a Nucleus. That’s pretty much my review of the Roon Nucleus Plus. If you are looking for a plug and play Roon server solution that’s nicely made, good looking, and price falls in line after these considerations, a Roon Nucleus is for you.
