In most cases this is a network issue, so it depends. The Nucleus One won’t be happy about network problems either. If the cause was in the Sonic Orbiter, then probably yes.

Wasn’t trying to imply. I was trying to say it straight out.
They are being disingenuous not releasing specs.
This is a company that not only has given recommendations for what spec computer to buy,
but has EVEN released compatibility lists BY processor on which configurations they would provide
support for. They didn’t just say “Use what you want bro, it’s afterall an APPLIANCE”
none of those lists had anything to my knowledge that listed Celeron.
So now to sell this thing for under 500, they had to go below I7/i5 and even i3 and when anyone
pushes back on them not being forthcoming with what’s inside this box they want us to pay for,
I am told I’m “IMPLYING” disingenuousness. Again, I am not implying, I am saying it directly
and as loud as I can…
They did not.
Intel CPU models are not a compatibility issue on Linux, but other components can be, in particular in a custom build like Roon OS. They tested Roon OS on the supported NUC platforms, so that’s all they could guarantee, that’s all there is to it.
If only you had your facts right before doing so
Hmm, sure looks like they listed NUCs with their processor. That’s weird. I must not have my facts straight!

We have worked with Intel to support its Intel NUC line of products. They are low power high performance easy to install units that work very nicely as a Roon Server machine. The models we support are:
-
NUC5i3xxx
-
NUC5i5xxx
-
NUC6i3SYx
-
NUC6i5SYx
-
NUC7i3BNx
-
NUC7i5BNx
-
NUC7i7BNx

NUC7i3DNx

NUC7i5DNx

Yes you should. These are NUC models, not CPU models. A computer consists of more than the CPU.
ROCK always worked on many other computers, but it was not supported in the sense that Roon Labs wouldn’t help you if something didn’t work because ROCK didn’t have the driver for a NIC or whatnot. I’m entirely sure it always worked on Celerons in principle because all Intel CPUs have the same instruction set, but this doesn’t cover the rest of the chipset.
Stop getting hung up on a marketing name for a CPU that was used by Intel for a hundred different things over the years.

The point is that the supported list consists of the complete computers that they tested ROCK with and knew that it works, it has zero to do with the CPU as such. These computers happened to be NUCs because they are a well-defined platform.
Now they have a new platform and the type of Celeron in it (the model of which you don’t know) is apparently good enough to run Roon with up to 100K tracks. Nothing more nothing less. Buy it or not.
Would it run well with 100K tracks?

It’s not a NUC. I know what board is in it and who makes it. It’s one of three processors and if the German article is correct, then I also know which processor is being used.
I still don’t think it matters for its target demographic.
If inside the Nucleus One is one of the Celerons I suspect, this is not no means below a Core i3 of the NUC generation found inside the previous Nucleus (rather on par with the i5 of that generation). Roon´s own statements advising against Celerons in general are dating back to year 2018 when this capable generation of Celerons did not exist yet.
Wild guess: N5095?
No, it’s not the N5095.
Can you not simply end the suspense?

I have read the page on the new Nucleus One that is up at the Roon site. Where it talks about capabilities it states this:
Can someone at Roon clarify this statement? I am interested in purchasing the One but I need to know it can handle running HQ Player, DSD and Room Correction Convolution Files. Anyone?
Is the M.2 SSD included in the purchase price? What is the capacity of the SSD?
Just like the other Nucleuses, no it can’t. (Though it can send the stream to a HQP running on a different computer)
Yes, it’s running Roon Server as always. Though, like it says, some (crazy) combinations may not be possible
Yes, of course it is included - the Nucleus One would not be operational without it, because it holds the Roon OS and Roon Server software.
I don’t know the capacity of the SSD, but the German review article mentioned earlier showed a screenshot that gave it as 86 GB. You can’t use it to store music files in any case - you would need the optional 2.5" drive for that…

Are the Nucleus One setup instructions available online? I would like to read them.
“Plug it in”?
Not sure about written, but a video:

Thanks maddib-- Seems like a laborious way to provide the information. But perhaps the thinking is that each application is possible to unique? But I would not think so–limited # of possibilities, no? I will do a support ticket on it tonight.
