I'm quite interested but will sit on the sidelines for a bit longer until we find out exactly what Roon and Devialet have planned. While I love the concept of what Roon has done with ROCK, RoonOS and the Nucleus, I'm not yet convinced there's any big benefit for me to move to it. Or maybe not yet.
I'm currently using Roon Server on an i7 Win10 PC that I leave running 24x7. It also runs Fidelizer and Devialet AIR and allows me to use it for other purposes if/when I want to. It all just works (well, most of the time) so I'm wondering why I would want to invest in a NUC to run RoonOS.
Running RoonOS on a NUC will certainly run more efficiently and likely more dependably. But, is that sufficient justification? Will it improve sound quality? Will it make Roon far more responsive? The big question - will it work better with my Dev Expert than what I currently have?
We'll learn soon enough.
