So I built the NUC running ROCK—very turnkey, had some issues getting the RAM seated properly but smooth otherwise. Went for an 8th-gen i3. Totally silent.
As predicted, it took a major load off of my wireless network. Experiencing zero dropouts or aberrations now with the Devislet connected wirelessly over 5ghz. I have the radio set aside exclusively for the Devialet. The soundstage feels slightly less holographic. It’s been suggested that I upgrade my ethernet cable—any suggestions? I was told to get the Wireworld Starlight, but I don’t know how much of a difference it will make plugged into my modem/router. Perhaps it just needs some time to burn in. Any thoughts?
