Hi Folks
Curious if any may have upgraded from Nucleus+ to Roon Titan. It has been several months since Titan’s release. Looking for your views, recommended? not recommended?
I can find no audio publication reviews nor any comments from fellow Roon community members. Just a post of Titan issues posted by Roon. All of which makes me somewhat skittish to upgrade.
Looking forward to the feedback.
I traded in a nucleus plus. Couldn’t be happier with the Titan.
I also run Roon server versions on other devices for testing, but am lucky enough to be able to enjoy the simplicity and reliability of an “appliance”.
It’s snappy - has functioned perfectly and looks great on top of my equipment rack. Even my wife said it was gorgeous.
Not only that, but I am able to handle multiple (16) zones well with RHEOS.
If cost is not the main driver, I can only say I am totally happy with what this delivered - and am more than able to set up a ROCK unit anytime - but why would I?
Thank you Peter
I’ll join @peter_richardson in having traded-in my Nucleus Plus for a Titan.
I’m incredibly pleased with my decision and am really enjoying my new Titan (in stone).
Thank you Collin
I have just upgraded to Roon TItan . I have had many issues and its only days old . Initally it would not play a full song , upon realising I had to insert my QNAP user name and password on the Roon software and my IMac it started t play whole songs . This helped ,however the Titan is still unstable, if I go to my favourite artist of which I have about 400 albums the system crashes . I tried to sub divide the file , but when I scanned through the alphabetical list of albums by artist it also crashed .The sound quality (when it works )is very good.
Highly frustrated with a very expensive product .
For context I do have 22000 albums on the system .However it seems too much for Titan .The Nucleus Plus was a more stable product .
If anyone in Roon land can help it would be appreciated
Have tried both my dealer and the UK importer

Has anyone notice any performance improvements from the Nucleus Plus to the Titan? I notice my Plus can be a bit slow to start a track playing.
What’s the spec differences?
The Titan is much faster.
Nucleus Plus (Rev B) is a NUC7i7DNHE with i7-8650U processor.
Titan is an Asus NUC13 with i3-1315U processor.
The single thread performance of the CPU:
And I would guess that the memory and other bus performance is better in the NUC13 as well.
Great data. The N+ also has Turbo boost disabled, so it will never see those type of benchmark scores in its passive cooling confuguration.
But the Titan case (with larger vertical heatsinks and multiple heatpipes) allows the i3-1315u to run in nominal use without any throttling at all, even with Turbo Boost enabled.
I have a Nucleus Rev.A (single-zone stereo system with 5k albums stored on an internal 2tb SSD) and have noticed some annoying slow response times (for example, delay when skipping fwd/back, displaying queue, toggling DSP), especially when I’m running a convolution filter. Is this the sort of thing the Titan would be noticeably quicker for (or, for that matter, a Nucleus One)?
I’ve been using a Nucleus One for 2 weeks. 1451 albums in high resolution, of which around 120 are DSD/DXD. The One runs without any problems. Compared to my old Nucleus Plus, the One runs faster, the operation is smoother. No regrets about the purchase. 
I don’t know because a Nucleus shouldn’t be slow in this scenario either, so maybe there’s something else behind it. And how slow is slow?
Well, often it will take 10 seconds for the queue to populate after I click over to it (whether or not I’m running DSP). And when I’m running a convolution filter with a volume compensation, then it can take 10 seconds for a “next track” or “previous track” to take effect.
That doesn’t seem right at all. I’d recommend opening a Support topic for your case
