Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer

I finally got a response from my emails to Roon, who indicated that it would be another two weeks or so before the Titan server would be shipped, so I cancelled the order.

@kennymacc I'm very much like you, not trading much the last few years.  I have the system I always dreamed of!  If my Nucleus Plus wasn't one of the earliest ones, I'd not done the upgrade, as it sounds awesome!

Nine days ago I ordered the Roon Nucleus Titan upgrade, still shows as "awaiting fulfillment", no response from my emails to them.

@rsf507 Since my server was probably 6-7 years old, I thought starting out "fresh" might be a good option, especially with the $1500 trade in allowance.  But with the additional delay, we won't be home to accept the delivery in two weeks or so.

Having said all of that, your point is well taken, my Nucleus+ connected to my DAC sounds awesome!

One site I found indicated that Roon's partnership with Intel for a customized NUC was expiring, hence the new versions of their servers.  Probably best to see how these new units perform.

@kennyc and @jmeyers The more I investigated the Titan, the less I was interested in making the change.  Somewhere I read that Roon's agreement with Intel (for the NUC that the Nucleus & Nucleus+ are based on) had ended.  The Roon website seemed to be advertising that the Titan was "faster", which I presume was the normal improvement in processor and memory speeds.  I was struck by how one could reserve a Nucleus but could not purchase a Titan on their website.  I wonder if, when Harman was purchased by Samsung, that the mother company was transitioning all the manufacturing to their factories.  I don't know that for a fact, but thought it was strange that they were offering an upgrade for a product that you could not make a direct purchase for.  My Nucleus+ sounds awesome, so I'll stay with that for now.

I got an email from Roon that the trade in on a new Nucleus Titan server is being offered again.  I only know of one person who bought the server and had some problems with his unit, but Roon replaced it with one that works fine.  Any other people with experience with the new Titan server?
