Streamer question

Thanks. Appreciate the response.

Thanks. I have a decent system, just want to lose the USB cable. 
I’ll work on the Roon issues separately. 

I tried a bluesound once and returned it. As I recall it sounded odd and also couldn’t handle the size of my library.

But, thanks for the advice. 

DAC is a Holo Audio May KTE. This is why I don’t want a DAC, just a streamer  

10,000 albums. 125k + tracks. 

A simple google search for, "can you run Roon core on an SSD attached to a NAS" will answer your question. It won't let me copy and paste here.

I've run Roon in this configuration for probably seven years with no issues. The issues have started as I've passed 10k albums. And more specifically most of my issues are with artists I have more than 1,000 albums for. If I only have a few albums from a particular artist it works fine.

I appreciate the feedback. Again, Roon ran fine for years until my library reached a certain size. And there are occasions it will be trouble free for months. But then it will act up again.

I don't know if the SSD reboots or not. I assume when it's powered down it reboots on startup, but I'm not tech savvy. :-(

Thanks! I'll research what you're speaking of.

Yes. Grateful Dead is the biggest issue for me. Presumably for to the number of tracks under the same artist.
