I finally had some time to get myself "into" Roon last night. Roon & Windows Server have somewhat worked in the past, but the overall experience to get it working was not very convenient. These steps were needed to get Roon or RoonServer working on Windows Server 2012 R2: - Add the Windows Role "Essentials Experience" (which actually converts a standard edition into an essentials edition) - Add the "Windows Server Essentials Media Pack" So i used the last night to get rid of all this inconvenient steps, and yes it does even work in Minimal-Server Mode now. I focused my testings on RoonServer and these are the needed steps to get a Roon Core working on Windows Server 2012 R2 (no matter if GUI or minimal-server Mode): - Install Windows Server 2012 R2 & all available updates - Install AudiophileOptimizer 2.10 - Install your DAC Driver - Install RoonServer - Stay in GUI mode or switch to Minimal-Server Mode (Core Mode is not supported!) - Run AudiophileOptimizer in advanced or ultimate mode - Say yes to "Install Kernel-Streaming and MediaPlayer support" - Say yes to "Add roon support" - Say no to "disable network related services" - Do not disable Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Enjoy, Phil OPENGL WARNING: If your graphic card driver for Server 2012/2012 R2 offers no OpenGL support (and you get OpenGL Errors when you start Roon) there is nothing AO could do against it. AO cannot change or extend the functionality of a graphic card driver. Consider using RoonServer instead of Roon or switch to Windows 10 if no OpenGL compatible graphic card driver is available for server 2012/2012 R2.

audiolinux Designing a RAID Roon Server w/ HQPlayer upsampling
NellyWhads posted a topic in Music Servers
Hey folks, I've done some reading here on AS and have seen the monumental audiophile PC builds. Sleek fanless chassis with solely solid state storage, LPSUs, and dedicated clocks/USB output cards. It's quite impressive. In my case, I am looking to build a LAN-enabled beast which will not be hosting any local USB audio equipment in the foreseeable future. If it does ever require direct USB output, I will add something like a PPA USB card with a dedicated OCXO clock and an external LPSU just for the USB output. For now, the system will solely and exclusively be serving audio over wired LAN to my SOtM SMS-200 Neo w/ battery power supply. Now, for the actual server, I'm hoping to set up an 8-bay chassis with an i7 7700k cpu and 16 gigs of ram. I will most likely need a SATA expansion card to support the increased number of storage bays, but that shouldn't be too bad to source. Would an OS like AudioLinux be okay to host this sort of storage setup while it runs roon server and hqplayer for me? Or will I have too much redundant re-set-up to perform every time AL is updated? As of right now, the only component I would need to purchase to make this happen is a chassis (like the Silverstone CS381B). I have tried AudioLinux and like it so far for its simplicity when serving music off of my SSD (haven't delved into RAMRoot or any other specific latency settings just yet). Will using AudioLinux on a roon/hqplayer server PC still make an audible difference? Will using AudioLinux on a non-hardware-optimized PC (No custom clocks, fna-enabled cooling, spinning hard disks, etc.) still make an audible difference over the network? Thanks for your time, Nelly- 18 replies

Hi sitting down an listening to my new roon server running on Ubuntu server 20.04. I wonder what I can do to optimize it. Maybe removing unnecessary services?
