Vectra Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I would like to start an upgrade journey. Today I have a tower gaming PC running Roon connected USB to my Emotiva XMC-1 pre/pro USB and HDMI for multi-channel and movies. The PC is in a closet behind the TV room with cables through the wall so the hardware is quiet in listening room. So today: Router > Switch > HTPC > Pre-Pro via USB > Emotvia MPS-1 amps > Speakers (Golden Ear Triton r.One) My idea: 10TB+ music files on NAS + Qobuz > Roon ROCK on Intel NUC > Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ via USB > pre-pro > speakers - upgrades: power supplies for NUC and Brooklyn Other ideas: - the new CAPS Roon bridge w/high end USB and NIC vs. Intel NUC? do this after Brooklyn? don't want to buy both at same time due to cost - put the Roon core on NAS and use a CAPS Roon bridge I heard a Mytek Liberty with Intel NUC and wall wart power running Foobar2000 w/Tritons and it sounded good and better than Oppo 105D I have a MM Music Hall MMF-5 TT so the phone on Brooklyn would be used assuming better than external Emotiva phono stage I watch video from Emby on HTPC over HDMI and play quad and 5.1 music files with Roon over HDMI to pre/pro.
