Nevermind DSPing etc that is done on the Core. The ROCK device is based on Intel NUC platform, i3 and up, so some of them will be pretty low spec. I'm thinking hard about getting one - I currently have all my "servers" (e.g., iTunes, Brio, Roon) running on an aging Mac Mini, which is keeping up just fine after a recent SSD upgrade but might be nice to have a really quick machine specifically for Roon as I migrate more and more toward it as my major platform.

Zappa was a brilliant musician and one of the greatest guitarist of our generation but the puerile lyrics simply distracted from his genius. Both some of his lyrics and some of his stage patter were designed specifically to tick off the sort of people he couldn't abide ("po-jama people," with "those cozy little footies on their minds"). Or perhaps, as you say, he was just being puerile. In any case, pace, and apologies for the OT.

#Yoda# Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 At an external location, but not far away from the HighEnd show, just across the street, you can experience on Friday and Saturday some of the very best active speakers from B&M (Backes und Müller) in an environment, most of usual speakers will fail. Highly recommended and always worth some minutes walk and fresh air. http://stollwerk-design.de/HE2017/index.html. Unfortunately, the link is not available in English. Link to comment
