My new Roon Server is up and running on my new Intel NUC after two days of installing Win 8.1 on it. The final config is:
Intel NUC 5i5RYH + 8GB RAM + 128GB M.2 SSD
TeraDak DC-200W 12V/13A Linear Power to NUC (replacing original power cable)
JPlay 6.2, ASIO, Classic
iFi iUSBpower, Mercury USB cable, iPurifier
Roon Remote is Win8.1 Tablet
Further improvement: USB Regenerator + Jitter removal (China-made), I believe quite similar to Uptone Regen but different implementation. And it is less than USD80. Will update on the performance. Expected delivery tomorrow.
Future upgrade wishlist: Audioquest Jitterbug, iFi iUSBpower 2
