I’m using the Eversolo and it works very well indeed.
These instructions are written for somebody new to Roon. If I already have a Roon server running (a Windows laptop in my case), what is different? Would I uninstall Roon there?
You will probably want to keep using your Windows computer for controlling Roon, so don’t uninstall it. Though you can quit the Roon Server and stop it from launching on startup:

Will the Nucleus One provide any advantages over an Intel Nuc?
I use the following model for Roon Server purposes: Intel NUC 11 NUC11PAHi7 Panther Canyon Desktop Mainsteam Kit, Barebone，Intel Core i7-1165G7 4-Core, 2.8 GHz – 4.7 GHz Turbo，8 Thread, 12MB Cache, 28W Intel Iris Xe Graphics
No. Well you get a dedicated support area on the forum

I see.
Thanks.

Looking at the pics in the preview, I don’t see a replaceable drive (for the OS and Roon) or replaceable RAM. Is it likely every is soldered to the board, or are those components just not visible in the pictures?
I mention this because I wonder what to expect should it need a new drive or memory. If the entire board must be replaced, I can see the costs making it not worth it. Board replacement costs for prior Nucleus models mention on the forum have been very high.

Definitely interested in this and thank you for responding to those of us who have wanted a lower cost alternative to the original Nucleus models other than a NUC. Just a question - looking at the power supply, the potential current load is 3 amps. Is that realistic or is the power supply just oversized? What is the normal operating load that this might present, especially since it will probably be on 24 hours/day?

Probably 5-10 W. That is typical power consumption for a mini PC at idle.

According to the German review linked here in the topic. The CPU has a maximum TDP of 21 Watts. But under normal load it pulls 7-9 Watts. So my guess would be the whole machine would be sitting around 10 Watts or so.
I have a NUC running Rock since 2019. It purrs along on my server shelf without as much as a hick-up. I think I’ve restarted it about 8 times! It’s probably the most foolproof piece of software kit I’ve ever owned. It simply works, and works well.

What happens if your Cambridge Audio appliance develops a fault ?
You take it in to a registered repair centre , you don’t open it up and fiddle around changing circuit boards.
Just because we are used to NUC’s and DIY servers doesn’t mean Roon/Harman shouldn’t change direction and produce dedicated hi fi components to match their excellent software. Maybe this is the future vision of Roon that their software will only be available via dedicated devices - who knows

I bet this is where this journey finally will go. And it’s ok, as long they offer a reasonably priced, high performance model without high-end case bling-bling. It’s a computer in the end. Nothing more.
Quite a leap from someone not seeing something in a pic to Roon chasing away the vast majority of their customers

This is why I advocate getting a NUC, if you can’t build it yourself, get a local independent store to build it for you and install ROCK.
Or get a friend or relative to do it for you. My parents in their 80’s think their laptop is windows, it isn’t, it’s Linux, they just don’t know 
Thanks, appreciate the info!
Thanks, had another reply that about 10 watts is normal for CPUs similar to what Roon is probably using in this box.

It certainly changes the landscape and while I can see ROCK being deemphasized and likely falling behind Nucleus in its feature set, I think stopping support for PC and Mac servers would be madness. In terms of endpoints, Roon being vendor agnostic also strikes me as pretty key to the whole proposition.

Not all of a sudden. As an outcome of a development that prioritises Nuclei and also offers (slowly) certain new software features exclusively to this line of Roon hardware. Certainly focussing support almost only to their own hardware. This will and may take time. Think Harman, not former Roon.
