Why aren't your running the Zenith direct USB (roon endpoint) into the NAD? and then have your Nuc Roon server feeding it. That should sound better than feeding the Mytek and then analog cables into the Nad
Innous Zenith MKII and Roon DSP
I purchased an Innous Zenith MKII about 6 months and configured it to use Logitech Media Server. I had used LMS for whole house stereo for many, many years. I finally decided to use Roon instead, and while Roon doesn't meet all of my whole house stereo needs, the interface and music management capabilities are far superior to LMS, IMHO.
Before enabling Roon, I reached out to Innuos tech support about the fact that Roon does not list the MKII as a recommend device. From Innous tech support, " The MkII can run Roon very well, the only reason they suggest such a high system spec is for performing DSD upsampling which is by far the most intensive process Roon has. For normal usage and bitperfect playback, the MkII can easily run Roon, no problems there."
I'm not doing any DSD upsampling. I am trying to use Roon's DSP capabilities, but I've experienced dropouts when I do. Other than this problem, I'm quite OK using Room with the MKII when playing DSD, FLAC, and WAV files through a MyTek Liberty DAC, as well as, streaming Tidal MQA directly to my NAD M12 BluOS module.
I want to take advantage of Roon DSP capabilities and keep the MKII. I leaning towards buying an Intel i7 NUC to run Roon Core and strictly use the MKII as my network media player/NAS. Thoughts anyone?
