So I have had a Aurender music server which sounded great but I like Roon better than the Conductor app. . I can play my other zones (have 5) with Roon which I can’t do with the Conductor app. Roon is more engaging at finding new music to me. The Roon Nucleus plus with a wall wart power supply just seems like a not very audiophile solution . I know I can add a linear power supply and then add a internal hard drive, this just seems putting lipstick on a pig, right?
The Aurender is built much better than the Roon Nucleus +. I know about Silenzo which people love and is built like a tank. Any other suggestions out there. I am enjoying using my Mac mini as a Roon Core but have to say the processor is slow by today’s standards as it’s a i5 from 2011.
