Roon Nucleus versus Small Green Computer

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

Roon OS on the Nucleus and ROCK are the same thing, but I didn’t think that was the case.

It is very very very similar. The base is identical, very little differs.

• is there any technical reason why it can’t come to ROCK’ed NUCs?

@Robert_Schaub got some of it right, but here is a hardware consistency and support angle too. I wrote about this here:

Home Automation

We package the other end of the extension with Nucleus. There were many reasons why we did it this way, but a few have already been mentioned. Having consistency in the hardware is very good for support and no doubt there was also a commercial component to this decision. If there was a significant number of users using Crestron and Control4 in the DIY space, then we would not have made these decisions.
