I found no need for extra computing power when I first installed Roon. I just put it here on my desktop iMac (old, 2009, 24", 4GB RAM). It isn't the fastest in the world, but acceptable for and old retired audio nut going on two years in the basement. I too am looking for a Core, but the sound is very good. My first move will be to hook the iMac to the rest of my audio system with Ethernet.
Best Server To Run Roon Core
Hi Folks,
I don’t currently run ROON, but would like to begin correctly in order to give it a chance - and I understand that server (hardware) on which Roon core is installed is important for SQ (due to noise reduction and other factors).
What are the best hardware for SQ and usability where ROON core should be installed and why (be it audiophile dedicated servers or modified PCs)? Please comment on the rest of your setup for context if you could.
Thank you in advance.
