I have Roon running on an Innuos server, which is cable-connected to my DAC and then into my amplifier. I enjoy that it is located in my rack. For Roon I like it can be controlled from my phone that acts as remote. I like the SQ a lot.
what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer?
I currently am using my iMac as my Roon core. It feeds an Sonore urendu downstairs and an Node 2i unpstairs. Is there a SQ advantage in getting a separate computer such as a NUC, a Roon nucleus or a Sonictransporter from small green computer? Is it a speed issue or CPU power issue? I do notice with very high res files (196k 24bit), my stream sometimes can't load, especially if all my web browsers are open on my computer. Is my internet too slow or is Roon running poorly on the Mac?
thanks
