For what it's worth, my SGC i5 went in for a repair, which Andrew turned around in less than a day. Astonishing customer service.
While it was gone I had to run Roon core on a Macbook Air. My sound quality tanked and died. It was grimy and full of glare, like I went from a hi-fi to a mid-fi system.
Fired up the repaired sonicTransporter, and I'm back in sonic heaven again. Point is, Roon likes to have a dedicated server.
I can't imagine that the Nucleus+ sounds better than a SGC sT; just has a little fancier case and some Roon branding. Small Green Computer is great.
