Would 24GB RAM be enough for HQP and Roon Core to coexist? Roon core works just fine on my 8GB old mini.

Should be plenty. I had RoonServer, HQPlayer, and 8gb dedicated to a zfs pool on an M1 Max Studio with 32gb of ram. With zfs pool not in play with you setup you should be good with 24gb.

I would personally get the M4 Max Studio as it has more ram bandwidth. I had a post here about it.

Thanks for the info… … Not sure I would consider a M4 mini as I’d want 10gbe and more ram for zfs, and paying more for that I’m better off with a Studio. Not to mention the mini bandwidth is low compared to the max models. M1 max = slower single core, higher memory bandwidth 400gb/s M4 = faster single core, really low memory bandwidth 120gb/s M4 Pro = faster single core, low(ish) memory bandwidth 273gb/s M4 max = faster single core and higher memory bandwidth 546gb/s (win,win) and …

Also mentioned in that post, I’d also separate hqplayer and RoonServer. I haven’t completed my experiments for science as I haven’t found the thunderbolt ethernet adapter I have buried somewhere.
