Arafiq,
thanks for comment. On paper what u have looks good, sorry for your problems.
I like the standalone nature of the Roon nucleus. Desktop connection i use seems fine but don’t like the complexity of linking to a separate room and keeping it on all the time.
i see ssd storage in the future so that adds a lot more. Sucks it don’t come with at least a small amount of song storage. Use of a Stand alone ext drive is less than ideal.
