I had to separate my ROON Server and client from 1 machine to ROON Core (a cheap and crap DELL server). The reason is because my client computer has a NVidia graphics card. Occasionally, when Windows does an update, they inadvertently update the NVidia drivers. This causes the CPU on my machine to go up and become noisy (a no no). The ROON client GUI is very GPU intensive so I had to solve this Windows upgrade issue by migrating to ROON Core or manually revert back to a particular Nvidia GPU driver.
ROON Core migration is the most complex thing you can do with setting up ROON. I am software developer and know my way around. However, it maybe simpler for most folks to start from scratch if they also have this issue and need to go CORE.
This type of bug happens in both Windows and Macs. Go to the ROON forum and checkout the threads.
I love the CORE setup I have now. No more upgrade headaches. I also posted a few minutes ago on another thread how I get my music to my DAC with some pretty cool (and relatively cheap) noiseless fibre cables. That is the reason I can use a cheapo computer for my CORE.
