A 918+ works fine, as example.

However the overall convenience of use still favour the external streamer. I used to run Roon on my regular PC but as you write MIKE not the best solution so I got a NUC and runs Roon ROCK on it. Starts up in around 20s and consumes very little power and it workes flawless with my SOtM sMS-200 Ultra. SToM 200 ULTRA vs Devialet AIR (WIFI) - PeppaPig - 31-May-2018 I personally don’t like Roon because: - doesn’t support folder view - way too expensive - doesn’t want to support folder view - 99% of my music are not having proper meta data so it cannot sort them into albums/Artists - Control is so so, doesn’t support volume button on iPhone to change volume - Navigation between pages/view is only Ok consider its price. So I am seeking something else to replace Roon.

I tried to utilize NAS (Synology) as a player (AudioServer, Roon, etc). It is realy bad solution, faaaar from my expectation in terms os SQ. There are lots of reasons: not audio-optimized software, poor power supply, quite noisy work and shitty USB socket (Ethernet connction is difficult to use for audio transfer - impossible if NAS does not have double RJ45 sockets). |
