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

[hltf]

I’m thinking about replacing my aging MacMini with a Roon Nucleus. It appears that most people find the SQ of Nucleus to be better than from the NUC i3 or i5, correct?

 

And does anyone know if Roon is any closer to an upgraded model as Danny Dulai of Roon has mentioned on a Roon blog somewhere? I can perhaps postpone for a few months or even a year so long as my MacMini holds up which it should hopefully do.

 

Another question. If implementing a copper case for the Nucleus is too expensive as Danny Dulai has said in the same blog, do you think that my using 3M conductive copper on the inside (and perhaps outside also to the extent possible) of the casing would help with keeping out RFI/EMI, or anything else?  Also, any risks to this?

 

Finally, what are the advantages of the Sonic Green Computer sonically or in terms of set-up simplicity or reliability?

 

Many thanks for any insights.
