Danny Dulai/Roon posted an interesting set of comments about ROCK and the Nucleus in the Roon forum here:

The part I found most interesting...
Turn-key solutions sold through the HiFi retail channel require margins for the distributors and the dealers. If you want to do this cheap, use ROCK + build yourself a NUC. No one can compete on price with that. We will soon have a button on our website that will add the suggested components to your amazon shopping cart.
Later in that post he estimates ~ $400 for an i3 NUC. At this point, I'd definitely wait for further clarification from Roon on the best NUC config for ROCK.
There are also questions in that thread about ROCK and Devialet AIR. To that, Danny replied...
We messed up with that Devialet thing. I'll say more soon.
No idea what that might mean, but if Roon and Devialet now actually have a relationship, that's got to be good news. Let's hope Devialet thinks so too.
