Hello Roon Community, I’m planning to build a new, dedicated Roon Core for a future-proof setup, and I’ve put together a parts list based on the latest ASUS NUC 15 Pro+ Kit. Before I purchase the components, I would be grateful for the community’s insight on its compatibility with Roon ROCK, as it…

Are there chances that Roon will update ROCK to support the new NUC models that are being released? How often do these updates usually happen?

Too rarely and too slow (and often it’s unclear why exactly) and there are no guarantees before it happens.

Too bad! Out of curiosity, I compared the cost of a build based on the NUC 13 Pro with one for the new NUC 15 Pro+. I noticed that the price difference is surprisingly small, while the architectural benefits of the newer model are enormous. The NUC 15 Pro+ doesn’t just offer more modern and faster …

I decided on a different approach. One of our local digital experts cautioned me that highly capable CPU chips, with DDR5 RAM and the latest SSDs, on motherboards not designed for audio can generate lots of unwanted noise.

My NUC 15 Pro+ is out for delivery! I’m really excited for it to arrive and, thanks to the tips you all suggested, I hope to get it up and running as soon as possible. Keep you posted.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to post a quick update. My NUC has arrived, and I managed to go from unboxing to playing music in just about 30 minutes! After making the necessary changes in the BIOS, Roon ROCK installed without a hitch, and so far, everything seems to be working perfectly. I understand…

Regarding the RAM, might depend on which kit precisely? The NUC specs say it supports 6400 CSO-DIMM. Maybe this helps? https://www.reddit.com/r/nuc/comments/1k3hud8/comment/n5asb7g/
