Would this work as a rock?
It comes with WIn10 preinstalled, but you could overwrite with ROCK.
It might be under-powered for a Core machine, but that would depend on your library and whether you were going to do any DSP processing.
I wouldn’t use for Core, but you could always try it and return it if it didn’t satisfy.
Of course, if you overwrite Windows you probably can’t return it.
Try installing Roon under Windows and if that is OK for you, then ROCK should be OK for you.
It’s only $250, look behind the sofa cushions.
Thanks for the input. I think I’ll stick with my iMac for now
