Hi
I have my Roon core that works OK. A bit unstable sometimes but that seems to be Roon in general
If I’m happy with the core I have will Nucleus One bring anything to the party that I don’t already have
Gutted that it’s nearly double the price of buying in the US I have to say
It would help to know what you have, how large your library is, etc.
But if yours does all you want it to do (though my ROCK isn’t unstable, so this might warrant looking into), what more would you want the One to do?
I have it on a mesh and so I think that’s maybe where the instability comes from
That’s my question I’m wondering what else it does? My Library is not massive. I have a SATA drive with maybe 8k songs on it
I guess I’m asking is it hype and just a pretty thing or is it going to provide me with a better service
OK, the Mesh explanation may be a possibility. That wouldn’t change, and in every other regard it also is the same as any other Roon Server. If it works, it works, and does what it needs to do. There are no additional features that it unlocks or anything.
Thank you I’ll save my money
I think it depends on what you are currently using for your Roon server. For instance, if it is a general use computer that you use for lots of other purposes, it might help to move your Roon server to an always on, dedicated Nucleus One, etc.
You don’t say where you’re running your Roon core, i.e. on a dedicated device, or on a system that you use for other things? One advantage of having the Roon core on a dedicated device is that it’s not affected by load on a shared system.
I’ve just bought a Nucleus One, because I want to move Roon to a dedicated device. Currently it’s running as software on my main Linux server, and suffers a bit when that is overloaded.
You could of course build your own dedicated PC, or a NUC, etc, whereas the Nucleus is designed to be an appliance…
[ah snap! Jim has just said the same, but I’ve typed it now

Apologies
It’s dedicated only runs the core
