Morning all, due to Intel announcing no more NUC investment I’m going to go the M2 route for my core. Can anyone tell me if Roon is running natively yet or is it being passed through Rosetta? First time going to a Mac, if so is their any performance hit or overhead for this emulation?

Many Thanks

make sure you grab Roon Server.  
Works great, not a problem for me.  
The M2 is more than enough to handle roon.
