Roon Power Supply


Would someone please recommend a power supply and cables to replace the wall wart that came with my Roon Nucleus.

@thinman2 Good on moving forward with the Farad. Adding a linear power supply to your Roon Nucleus will reap benefits. 

Since you've taken the first step, invest in a quality aftermarket DC cable. You may also want to play with the AC power cable to the LPS.

Interesting that Farad offers a choice for the AC receptacle and Fuse.
@thinman2 Since the Roon Nucleus is Roon Core only (correct me if I am wrong), you will either need a standalone Roon Endpoint/Renderer OR an "audio device" that offers Roon Endpoint/Rendering.

You will also need to decide between a networked solution or going direct into the "audio device" via HDMI or USB.

For your DAC, I suggest that overall performance and sound quality drive your choice AND NOT whether it is MQA enabled (you get the first MQA unfold via Roon, regardless).

I’ve achieved terrific performance with both: a separate Roon Renderer/Endpoint AND with that function housed internal to my DAC.
@thinman2  Take a look at the Roon partners and their product offerings, as a starting point.

This will give you a great feel for component breadth and depth. There are others that are not Roon "certified / tested" that work equally well.

I was using the Sonore Signature Rendu SE as my standalone Roon Endpoint/Renderer.
