It will most likely accomplish nothing for your audio as long as you don’t use that computer as a streamer. If you use that iMac as a computer for other tasks concurrently with running Roon and it doesn’t have enough brains to multitask, you will slow down Roon and Roon will slow down whatever else it is you’re trying to run. Potentially. If you run into it, then make the decision. Other than that you should be fine as is.
Should I get a Roon Nucleus?
Hey folks,
I just discovered Roon after using Bluesound for years. I have the new Bluesound Node wired with a Cat7 Ethernet cable. I love the Roon interface. My node streams to both my Focal Arche and Rotel RA-1592. I just use Qobuz at this point (recently ditched Tidal). I have an iMac M1 as my Roon core currently. What do you think the Nucleus or the Nucleus+ would accomplish in my system? Thanks!

@jbuhl bump in sound quality from only changing roon core? I get the stability part though…. |
