@kennyc Agreed! Much of the expense of the Titan seems to be in the visual aesthetics. If my Nucleus+ reaches "end of life", I'd probably replace it with a Nucleus One.
Anyone Bought a Roon Nucleus Titan Server?
Just wondering if anyone "pulled the trigger" on the new Roon Nucleus Titan server, how it performs . I've read some early adopters reporting problems, just wondering if more recent adopters have had good luck with the new server. I've enjoyed a Nucleus Plus server, it sounds great and I've had no problems the years I've owned it.

+1 @wised - paying additional for the Titan over the Nucleus without any sonic or other benefit seems like a waste of money. |
The real question is who needs a Titan? Is a nicer box, additional rooms and DSP worth more than 6 times the iutlay as an identically sounding nuckeus one? I have one listening area and don,t use ir like DSP. So for me, and I suspect 90%+ of Roon users, it makes absolutely no sense at all. The Nucleus One is a brilliant solution. The Titan makes no sense at all, except maybe if you own a stereo store with multiple listening rooms that would benefit from each having individual DSP settings and require a nice box for people to oohh and aahh at! |
@audiotroy I've enjoyed a Roon Nucleus Plus server for many years now, it sounds awesome connected to my PS Audio DirectStream Mk2 DAC vis USB. I thought it might be wise to get a new piece of hardware while they were offering a good trade in on the Nucleus Plus, but I've read a post about a Titan that froze up and another that couldn't stay connected to an external hard drive. I've also read that Harmon bought Roon and that Harmon was purchased by Samsung; I wonder if the new Roon servers are now being manufactured by Samsung and maybe the bugs on the new models haven't been fully worked out? |
