Why is a ROON
Nucleus
better than a generic ROON headless server? ROON themselves have stated that you do not need a perfect machine for the headless server.
In the last 3 weeks I installed the ROON server on a 24 Core + 96GB RAM server. Another server with 12 Cores + 24GB RAM. Plus another with 4 Cores and 16GB RAM. I used a Sonore microRendu as the convertor to the DAC. In all 3 cases the ROON server seemed to work with the same level of quality. I had the same excellent sound in all 3 cases.
The big server was in my garage and the bits had to travel on a Powerline copper network to my microRendu. Still sounded the same as the other 2 machines which were closer to the DAC.
