Arc On Mac Question

@Wayne_Crozier1 For the Mac see e.g. here:

Roon shuts down every night and also while streaming.

Hi @William_C_Mack, Thank you for patiently waiting for a response. Did you get a chance to look at the power settings @Placebophile suggested? Roon 2.0 is a different architecture that now properly observes a Mac’s energy saver settings. Changing the Mac to be always on and to prevent the hard disks from going to sleep usually do the trick in resolving your issues with Roon. Thanks, Wes

Apple Folk ... how to keep iMac awake?

I’m going to try using an external hdd to hold my music, instead of my NAS. I hear that will speed up finding new music, right? But my 2019 Mac keeps falling asleep. I checked the box that tells it not to, and enabled network access, doesn’t seem to work. Any thoughts ? Am I doing something wrong? The iMac seems to work well as a core but I want it always available without having to wake it up. Thanks!
