@audphile1 similar jplay behavior as well! Frequently stops mid song, won’t play song selected, skips to next song. Have gone over the app configuration time and time again but same wonky results.
I installed Roon core on my i7 PC and so far it’s much more stable with snappy iPhone or iPad app interaction. It’s possible my 1.5 year old Roon Nucleus One is underpowered. The plastic “heatsinks” 😂 or anywhere on or around the Nucleus core always feel cool. My library is medium/ small , no DSP, basic setup always keep up with Roon updates. 🤷♂️
Replacing Roon - What Should I get?
I'm tired of Roon having brain farts. I have an original Roon Nucleus and have updated and augmented the Memory. This helped for a bit. But now, I keep having to reboot the darn thing.
It's not my network. I have checked it out and everything in the house works fine.
Here is the setup. A direct fiber optic link goes to the Router. Then ethernet to Roon from the Router. This way I get Roon to talk with the setup upstairs. I have an 35 foot ethernet cable that runs through the walls directly from the router into my dCS Lina.
I want to replace the Roon. I am thinking about an Innuos Stream. Just need a streamer that can hold Roon/Tidal. Don't need a DAC as the dCS does that quite well. I have a SSD in the Nucleus that holds a ton of my music that I want to move over.
Thoughts on what to replace the Roon with? Innuos (Stream) always get bandied about. I hear about Arender as well. I don't want to get an updated Roon.
I also wonder about deleting and reinstalling the Roon App on my iPads.
Thanks in Advance

I've been running a Roon, ROCK, Intel NUC 11 (11PAHi7), with a 20TB USB HD, a 500GB SSD, 32GB of memory and a >200k library 24/7, for over 3-yrs., minus a single hiccup. I use it for my 2-channel EMM Labs DAC audio room and to distribute multi-room music to a Marantz AV pre-pro based HT and to 3-Audio Pro A10 WiiM wi-fi speakers. For my purposes, Roon just works! |
I should have added that I have Roon's DSP functions disabled. |
@mdalton I think you could be totally correct. It is old. Though I upgraded the memory, it did nothing for the processing speed. My internal SSD has lots of files on it, but not as much as some have mentioned here. |
