Can Roon comment on whether the new Pi4 (link below) has the capability to host a RoonCore: [image] Official Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop Kit Raspberry Pi 4 Desktop kit is supplied with: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, 4GB Raspberry Pi Keyboard & Mouse 2 × micro HDMI to Standard HDMI (A/M) 1m Cables R…

I do know we’ll not get Roon on it, but it is not because it is not capable to run it. Most of us do not run multiple streams, just one, until I can clone myself. RPI 4 8Gb does cost a bit more then 50$ and it is plenty powerful to run pretty much any other server, especially in dedicated configura…

Build a NUC. That’s cheap enough.

It will happen, but not soon, and not for the RPi4. See these notes from Danny: [image] If Apple moves to ARM -- will there be a Roon Core for ARM? Roon Software Discussion Notes from yesterday’s Apple WWDC: yes, Macs are going ARM It will begin later this year, will ta…

MacOS and Roon are not being ported to ARM. Apple themselves say it is being ported to Apple Silicon, which is based on the ARM Instruction Set Architecture, ISA (Apple was a cofounder of ARM and has a license) but also includes a lot of proprietary extensions. Modern computers increasingly use sp…

i don’t fully understand the love of the rPi. sure it’s a bit cheaper than other boards like a NUC, but it’s a pretty compromised board from a general computer standpoint. There’s no real time clock, limited IO, a horrible mechanical form factor (ports all over the place that makes it look like a …

One reason I like it is because as a platform it is not being monitored and monetised by the usual suspects. That said I wouldn’t be putting Roon server on it even if I could!

I like the efficiency of raspi. I don’t need a more powerful machine for my use case so it feels a bit more economical to use a raspi. As you said, “it’s an amazing machine for the dollar”.

[image] maoravni: I’d risk a guess: Roon is a .NET app. Therefore if you have a .NET runtime compiled for Rpi 4 you’ll probably can roll your own Roon core. There is quite a bit of native code as well.

Roon Core on a Pi4?

An RPi form factor x86, which is what I suspect some in this thread are really asking for.

Pocket-sized Roon Core?
