Roon ROCK and i7 Core Ultra

Roon Software Discussion ROCK

Does anyone if ROCK will work with an INTEL i7 Core Ultra processor? Specifically, this NUC model from ASUS.

Maybe, but if it is not on the official list then it will not be a supported installation. On the other hand, Use linux or windows and roonserver and you would be good to go.

I’m running Roon Rock on an Asus Nuc 14 pro i3. Works like a charm except for WiFi. But I use ethernet so that doesn’t matter to me. Imho an i7 is overkill.

I don’t disagree with the i7 being overkill. I’ll also look at the i5 along with the i3. Thanks!!

Try and use a version of Linux, Debian, Ubuntu etc and install Roon, then use the server for other things too like Plex.

I am thinking about trying an ASUS NUC 14 Ultra 9

If the i3 nuc 14 works apart from wifi then the ultra 9 should

Currently my ROCK server is on a nuc 12 i7

My library is about 370k tracks music is stored on NAS + tidal + qobuz

Any improvement in responsiveness is a bonus.

I have a nuc 13 i7 I am running as a rock endpoint that I considered using as my server but the 14 seems an interesting option

I am very interested in others experience with Rock on nuc14 especially ultra 9

Regards
