Discreet, low noise, etc...but without AIR resident on the NUC how would this work....seems USB and a Rendu would be required.?
Are you planning to run the Roon Core Kit? If so, then currently no extra internal storage is supported and you can't store music on the boot drive so it's USB or a NAS only, its advantage would be that nothing else would be running so the I3 should be really good. In that case a 120gb SSD would be all that was worth buying.
If you want to run windows or regular Linux then the i5 might bring benefits.
