Roon supports Devialet AIR

[Axel]

A couple of questions.

I'd love to run Roon, but I don't want my Mac, which is upstairs, to be running. So what is the most effective and cheapest way of running Roon on my system?

If I did have to use the Mac, and install Roon core on it, could I still have the QNAP NAS running into my Mutec, or does  the audio have to be rooted through the Mac? Please bear in mind that everything on my LAN is connected by Ethernet cable.

Axel - you are probably aware of the fact that one can run RoonServer on a NAS. I did it briefly last year on my Synology 1812+ NAS which has 3GB of memory. It played back music fine, however using search on my laptop or iPad was a little pokey. As you noted it really depends on the horsepower of your NAS.

Unfortunately, my NAS has a nice quad core processor but only 2GB of ram, which I think is used for the library info. I've got quite a large digital collection, so sadly it's out of the question. I chose the QNAP HS251 because it's fanless and silent and don't really want to change it. I think I'll wait and see what the streamer board brings, then change my hardware to suit.
