I’ve split out the technical discussion on DietPi3 (a good discussion just a little too detailed for this topic) to it’s own topic.
Roon Core = MiniItx motherboard w/i7 3.3Ghz processor, 16 Gig RAM, Stripped down Debian base OS on SSD
Roon Bridge [s] = RPI w/DIetPi and BeagleBone Black Debian/RoonBridge for kitchen duty
Roon Core = MacPro 5,1 3.06Ghz, 24GB RAM, 256GB SSD for MacOS and Roon, 1TB SSD Music Library, hardwired to ASUS RT-AC88U Router hardwired to Meridian MS600 => Meridian G02 Pre-Amp => Meridian G57 Power Amp => KEF Reference 1 speakers.
Very, very happy
Here is my 2 setups.
Imac i5 quadcore
NAD c390DD with BluOSS module - KEF LS50
Chord mojo - Schiit Valhalla 2 - HD800
Nice!
What is the little device underneath the monitor on your headphones setup? Looks like another Schiit.
Do you like Valhalla 2? I have the same 'phones (HD 800) with Schiit Asgard 2 / Bifrost combo.
Thanks.
I forgot about that box! Its a Schiit Wyred - not sure what it brings to the party, but I have an aversion to USB, so it puts my mind at ease slightly knowing its being somewhat cleaned up!
I do like the Valhalla, but I can only compare to running the HD800’s straight out of the mojo. Its a definite improvement. Most importantly it warms my hands up with in the depths of winter - it runs HOT!
great looking stands for the LS50s.
I have a really noisy PC on my desktop system. The Wyred does a fantastic job cleaning up the noise. I’m a fan.
Thanks, they are Custom Design SQ404’s. Probably not technically the best as they can’t be mass loaded, but my girlfriend is happier with them!
Route1:NUC6i5 with Roon Core - Aries - Lyngdorf TDAI2170 - XTZ 99.36mkii
Route2:NUC - Pi2 with HB Dacplus - Teufel OneM
Both routes grouped

I like your dog :-).
Main system (balanced isolation transformer and various LPSs. optical isolation to router and “non music stuff”):
QNAP HS-251 > Mac mini > Auralic Aries > USB Regen > Audiophilleo SE > Chord 2Qute > Don Garber Fi “Y” and “X” > Klipsch Cornwall III

DAC to preamplifier section:
“just” one more year to Don’s Fi 2b pre and 2A3 mono pair
Nice setup! If I decide to move away from my LS50’s the 23’s are first on my list to try.
How are you getting Roon on your TV?
Thank you. The Twenty.23 are wonderful speakers, give them 150+ hours to break in.
The black box on the floor is my Windows PC I built, Roon is on that and connected to the TV.
