I had Lucas Domansky of Lucas Audio Labs design me a roon server/core from scratch. Much improved roon performance, sound quality vs when running roon on old PC and sending it to streamer. The skys the limit with features and so forth, but worth investing in some sort of dedicated roon core.
what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer?
I currently am using my iMac as my Roon core. It feeds an Sonore urendu downstairs and an Node 2i unpstairs. Is there a SQ advantage in getting a separate computer such as a NUC, a Roon nucleus or a Sonictransporter from small green computer? Is it a speed issue or CPU power issue? I do notice with very high res files (196k 24bit), my stream sometimes can't load, especially if all my web browsers are open on my computer. Is my internet too slow or is Roon running poorly on the Mac?
thanks
