Phantom and Intel NUC

[Snoopy8]

Is it possible to use an Intel NUC with my phantoms? I am planning to install Roon rock on a NUC but I am not if it’s possible to use with my phantom. My set up is 2 phantoms and a dialog.

I have an Intel NUC running MinimServer on SnakeOil OS (very lightweight Linux) feeding my Phantom Golds and Dialog with UPnP enabled. I wrote this Wiki Page.  

Trialled Roon but found that Airplay and feeding the Phantoms via optical (seperate box) not as good as UPnP.  The sound quality, in particular the sound stage, was the best with UPnP.  

Also, during Roon Trial, tested Convolution room correction.  Roon required double the CPU resources compared with UPnP running the same convolution filters.

Am delighted with the UPnP setup and the sound quality, doubt I will ever take up Roon even if RAAT becomes available.
