Roon does hardware [Nucleus introduced in Munich]

I doubt many people are going to put that black box in their listening rooms, next to their beautiful endpoints, DACs, streamers, speakers, etc.

That box looks like it was built to go where all computers, amps, etc. belong - down in the cellar, where it’s cool.

Cool as in temperature, not as in hipster.

Thanks for confirming that for “audiophiles” it is all about the looks despite claiming otherwise… :wink:

I think I will be going down the home brewed NUC/Rock route but I am a bit of a techophobe and will also give thought to saving my pennies and plumping for Nucleus. I hope this question does not give rise to offence but if Roon, for whatever reason, closes down or a new kid on the block comes up with a whizz-bang player, will it be possible to repurpose the hardware?

Yes of course the HW is standard it is the os that is customised.

August, is it? @Danny ?

I want one, in spite of having a NUC and a SonicOrbiter.

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.

yah, possibly earlier, but august is safe
