Article: The Definitive Guide To Roon Optimized Core Kit (ROCK)

Chris, thank you for the sage advice. These are exciting times! This innovation has prompted me to buy the i7 unit and will be rebuilding my Roon setup from scratch with a NAS as well. However, since the sole purpose of the NUC is to run Roon, how does one use calibration software with a mic? I have the Umik-1 (from miniDSP) and the Room Eq Wizard software. Is that even possible?

Thanks Chris for this simple tutorial. I was able to get Roon moved over with minimal fuss to the NUC and it has worked flawlessly so far when connected to my NAS. One thing worthy of note that caused me difficulty at first was my use of a switch - it caused repeated drop outs in my wired network. At least I'm assuming it was the switch because as soon as I removed it from the chain the dropouts stopped. The NUC does make a little fan noise if your setup has it out in the open. I stuff mine behind everything in my theater setup so it's not an issue.
