I've just finished installing the Roon Optimized Core Kit (ROCK).
Super simple to setup and being an Intel NUC its very compact.
Anyone using a Macbook or similar device for USB to their DAC this is a great alternative.

The link gives all the information you require and even a quick checkout to Amazon to purchase all the hardware.
I used an Intel NUC 7i7BNH with 8GB DDR4 Crucial Memory and Samsung EVO 960 SSD m.2.
All installs off a USB (instructions in the guide), plug in to the network and you are aware. FYI if you plan on using Wifi like me, you need to plug in first to be able to connect to the Web Interface to setup the Wifi etc.
Then use your iPad, login and point it to your NAS or Tidal account, DONE!
All in all, awesome and for under $1k.
