I've considered the same. Currently just using a very old MacBook Pro for Roon. Would the Roon Nucleus be that much better or how about the Roon vs Small Green Computer?
Roon Nucleus quality as a network streamer
I am considering buying a Roon Nucleus. I have the following obvious question, which I haven't been able to answer browsing the web: what is the level of performance of the Nucleus as a streamer, compared to some of the benchmarks: does it fit in the ~1000-1500 $ bracket, consistent with its cost (accounting for the intrinsic roon-related HW and SW features), or does it sit below or above? Another way of putting it: at what level of sound-quality expectations would one need to add a stand-alone network streamer, once you have the Nucleus?
