NUCLEUS Rev B with Audirvana & Amarra Luxe

Roon Software Discussion Nucleus
1

I made a big upgrade form my MacMini as a ROON Core to a loaded NUCLEUS Rev B with 16 gigs of RAM and 2 internal digital SSDs.

Previous to ROON I was using Audirvana & Amarra Luxe as an OSX, MAC-based audiophile music players installed on an i7 quad core MacMini. I use a new-ish IPAD-Pro as a controller.

Is there any purpose to continue using those 2 apps, or does ROON/Nucleus Rev B. do a better job in playing both my locally stored- music as well as my streaming TIDAL & QOBUZ >?

Thank you all for your advise

Regarding Audirvana, it’s claim to fame is turning off all computer services except those required to play sound. You’ve done the same by purchasing a Nucleus because sound is all it does, so keep Audirvana only if you love the interface and features, in my opinion.
