Roon Client/Server - Best Practice?

JFYI, Roon on Windows is going to outperform Roon Mac or Linux box, assuming the hardware is identical. Roon is mostly build on the .NET framework, and we’ve seen that Microsoft’s implementation performs about 20% better than the Mono solution. This may not be the case in the future, especially with Microsoft opening up their runtime, but it is the case right now. You can probably take the fastest fanless cpu you can find, run Windows + headless Roon on it, and have a pretty ultimate Roon box. …

It might be that your Mac is having an issue or extra overhead with the Mono implementation of the .Net framework on Mac.
