I assembled my NUC and installed ROCK it's pretty easy to do. You should use one they reccomend on their list to make sure it will work.

Has anyone implemented a Roon server from an Intel NUC?

I did this a couple of years ago using a NUC7i3BNH. I am moderately savvy with computer technology and had one or two steps momentarily stump me but I was able get music out of it within a couple of hours. When I started, I imagined putting it in a fanless case but did not do that because I cannot hear the fan at the listening position even without music. If you plan to use the DSP feature you should get at least an i5 if not i7. |
The one you posted has windows 10 on it. While not really a big deal but you can’t run ROCK on win 10 you would in essence erase it and not use it. The ones I posted don’t come with an OS. I used an i5 in a fanless case and it doesn’t even break a sweat. I keep my NUC in my home office and use a raspberry pi4 as a roon bridge in my listening room. https://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html?ref_=nav_cart |
