So in the next couple of months I am going to make some changes to my set up to accommodate it as at present I am using my lap top as the core and I don’t want that as a long term solution.
My listening now is almost exclusively Tidal, but I do have about 2000 albums in FLAC file, and the odd 24bit album in there too
At present I have the Devialet 200 connected via USB to the Melco N1A. I am looking to replace the Melco with something similar but with Roon installed . I want a USB connection as in my room/system it sounded much better .
I know there are other ways I could do this and I may consider these too but for the purposes of this post I am looking at solutions where I could just simply replace the Melco with one more piece of kit
The obvious ones for me appear to be the Innuos and Roon Nucleus products .
I would appreciate any input from any forum members who have been on a similar journey or are thinking about it as there appear to be numerous options and the more I read the more confusing it gets .
I am up in Newcastle and so it’s very difficult to audition too.
Hi - the simplest solution is to buy a:
QNAP TS251+ NAS with 8GB RAM = £350
Install 2x 1TB SSDs circa+ £180 each.
Install roonserver, its a QNAP app so couldn't be easier
roon on QNAP automatically installs Devialet AIR drivers so once installed will instantly talk to your 200 via Ethernet/swtich or the rear USB3 port can be configured for audio out.
No need for anything else other than an iPad/iPhone.
I have to disagree, what is simpler is buy a zenith ........that’s obvious surely
