Best Roon Core server when streaming over RAAT?

Or you can get one of this http://www.thunder-data.com/e-z5 and enjoy the music. Instead of playing around with pc and server components, this was built and design from the ground up for audio and music playing. The noise floor and file loading speed of this unit is amazing.

I had those concerns exactly mainly because the processor selected. My library is about 2 Tbytes, so far the processor breezes thru all requests an I had no problem playing hi rez files. I assume because the OS is specially designed for audio and has no additional process running like windows or macOS it runs smooth and fast.

Nice unit. I wonder how it would compare to a well laid out NUC running AudioLinux. Do you own one or have you heard one?

 

I do own one and after playing around with pc's and macmini, this is on another level.
