Good advice from @verdantaudio To get best quality sound from Roon need two streamer setup, Core streamer is the critical thing to get right, the second streamer/Endpoint/renderer extremely specialized device. NAS another good idea to decrease load on any streamer processor, high levels of RFI with hard drives as well, good to get away from streamer. Any streamer internal drives better be well shielded.
Looking for Some Music Server Advice
I have a 2020 Innuos Zenith music server (4TB) as well as a LUMIN T2 streamer I purchased at the same time. The Innuos serves as my Roon core and it houses my entire CD collection along with some digital downloads taking up nearly all of the 4TB capacity. The music is double backed up on two separate external hard drives. Lately I have been having some issues with the Innuos and currently it is not showing up on my network. As I work through this it has caused me to start thinking about potential replacements. This is where I can use some advice. It should be noted that I primarily listen to vinyl so streaming and listening to digital audio is secondary for me and something I do mainly out of convenience. Accordingly, I don’t want to break the bank on a potential Innuos replacement. I would appreciate any advice this community has regarding different options that would house my digital collection while continuing to allow streaming on Tidal, Quobuz etc. I wasn’t thinking I needed to replace the LUMIN also but if there is a one box solution I might consider selling it.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts folks may have.
