But, I've looked into it enough to believe that a properly speced Intel NUC will serve just as well at a much more attractive price point. Perhaps if it wasn't going to be tucked away, I'd be more concerned about looks and keeping it fanless, but that's not a concern for me.
But I am holding out a bit until the issues with Roon RAAT to an Expert Pro over gigabit ethernet are fully resolved.
Agreed. The Roon nucleus is just an Intel NPC, not much Optimized, the software optimisation is just simply turned off unused services in the OS, and even you leaving them on they has no harm to your device as music server. It just a marketing words... that nucleus is just a intel NPC with pretty casing that cost a lot more money... well if you like the case it’s worth, I think the nucleus looks nice too, just way overpriced when I looked at its internal motherboard....very average built, and same as intel NPC, they even don’t remove the front ports on the motherboard which is not being used for nucleus.
Does Devialet has issue with Roon RAAT to an Expert Pro over gigabit ethernet? I see people are using it in this way...
