Roon Nucleus Titan Upgrade Offer


This morning I got an email from Roon that they were offering substantial trade in values for those of us who have Nucleus servers, to upgrade to their new top-of-the-line Nucleus Titan server.  So I "pulled the trigger" on upgrading from my Nucleus Plus, which sounds great, USB connected to my PS Audio DAC!

With that kind of money, you can build your own fanless PC with better performance, and less electrical interference... I spent $2500 to make a fanless PC with a linear power supply, 16 CPU cores, 32 GB of RAM, SSD storage, and a Femto USB card. My PC will surely outperform any offering from Roon including the Titan. It could play DSD512 files, along with convolution filers, and Parametric EQ... basically, any advanced functionality from Roon can be run. 

 

as a company with direct experience with roon's  hardware as well as most of the major servers out there the titan would never be my first choice the first nucleus was a cheapie nuc in a nicer case 

 

compare this to an Innous or 432evo servers:

Innous uses a massive internal high end power supply 

432EVO uses two external sbooster power supplies 

432EVO also uses a separate clock and USB card as well

 

so  compare the Titan  probably uses a wall wart like the nucleus,

isolated USB not apparently,

clock technology also seems missing.

 

roon makes great software they don't know anything about designing stat of the art hardware

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?
