DEVIALET now Roon Ready.

[jorgie]

Is it possible to run a direct ethernet connection between core and devialet without using a switch? If so, will Spotify connect still work?

Yes BUT you need to have Roon running on a device with 2 ethernet ports, one which you connect to your router for the internet connection Roon needs and the other which you connect to your Devialet. If you only have 1 ethernet put on the device running Roon then you need to use a switch.

There are some servers (Innuos, current Antipodes models) with 2 ethernet ports. I have no idea about whether any NUCs have 2 ports. The Roon Nucleus only has 1 port and my not discontinued Antipodes DS only has one. Overall I think devices with 2 ports are in the minority.

Here is a box having two ethernet ports that might be suitable: http://www.shuttle.eu/products/slim/ds77u/  or http://global.shuttle.com/news/productsS...uctId=2115
The i7 processor should be sufficient, even for big collections: https://ark.intel.com/products/95451/Int...o-3-50-GHz-
I'm thinking about building my Roon server based on it
