Currently I am also running kodi on the nuc which does not allow me to place the nuc somewhere else.(16-Feb-2016, 19:49)k1282 Wrote: Hi guys,If you hate Apple products I think Roon would work will for you. It has all your requirements and has the best Tidal ingratiation available.
I was wondering about optimization options for my current streaming setup. The setup is as follows:
Given the setup above, do you see any room for improvement? Cost should not be the driving factor rather:
- FLAC files stored on NAS connected to gbit Switch via Ethernet cable
- Intel NUC connected to Gbit Switch running Roon headless
- Roon headless configured to use Exclusive Mode and Volume Control disabled
- Audioquest Cinnamon USB Cable connecting NUC with Devialet D200
- Nexus 9 Tablet running Roon Remote
- Tidal Hifi Subscription
Can be done to further improve SQ and maybe even usability.

The Sonicorbiter SE is a RoonReady endpoint so it takes the audio stream from Roon Server over the network and converts it to USB for your Devialet D200. This way you don't need a computer in your listening Roon.
The biggest difference between the Sonicorbiter SE and the auralic aries is the cost. $300 vs $999 for the aries.
