Intel NUC NUC5i3RYH (Silver/Black) based ROCK server
Bean Canyon model NUC with 8GB RAM (2x4GB SIMMs) and 240GB m.SATA SSD.
Running latest Intel BIOS and ROCK software
Will include the Roon trial I received with the UltraRendu, as I didn’t use it - so a perfect Roon starter.
Ready to go as a dedicated ROCK based Roon Core server - all built and confirmed operational - just needs a Roon Licence or Trial activation.
I am running a similar NUC5i3 based ROCK server with 6K+ albums, 80k+ tracks to multiple zones without issue, and also runs most DSP functions.
£200/€225/$250 ono + shipping (make me a sensible offer)
Delivery to UK/Europe/US - though ships with UK plug to ‘Cloverleaf’ on a Laptop style multi-voltage PSU (110/240)
Easy way (& cheaper, a bare bones NUC without RAM & SSD is more than this amount) to get a dedicated server for Roon Core with reported SQ benefits over a multi-purpose PC/Mac.
Hi Ian,
I am in Dublin, Ireland, so shipping would need to added in at about £25 tracked & insured. So will go to £170 shipped.
However I am potentially in London, for a day trip next week, though actual day tbd.
Plus definitely in UK from 14th to 16th Oct - over into Heathrow, and with friends in Camberley, Surrey for a gig on the Tuesday and back on the Wednesday. So drops the postage element @ £150
So what I have recently seen of the NUC5i3 processing capabilities, when using ROCK it is just as good as NUC7 and NUC8 models.
They are circa 2015/2016 builds, and I have been running ROCK since it was released in 2017, initially on a Gen2 i3 NUC, then on Gen5 i3.
If you are doing just Redbook, no up or down conversion this NUC would work for you also. It is out on loan at present, but I could see about getting it back & bringing it over to the UK in October. I would do that one at just £100
Hi, been tied up with work until now, just traveling, will figure out how to PM you details in a moment. Hope it lasts I can’t wait to start playing around with it
