Will conquer Roon first. Can always add RAM to the NUC if HQPlayer is needed.

How are you running/controlling your NUC and Roon? iPad, laptop, phone, etc.?

Phone and tablet, both android. But I'm sure roon supports ios as well.

Unfortunately RAM alone is not enough. To run many of the HQP filters you need a much faster processor. That said, Roon will run perfectly fine with the NUC that you have and you will love it. Enjoy it! |

Marc & nicoff - thanks for the responses.
Excellent. My wife has 'appropriated' my iPad (my grandson ended up with my first one) so will be getting another 'something'. Too bad the Amazon 'Fire' doesn't run on an appropriate operating system (Android) to support Roon. My phone is an Android so will go with a Samsung tablet this time and not have to mix apples & oranges. Is there any reason to get more than the base 16GB model? Have you hardwired (ethernet cable) your NUC or added some sort of WiFi communication?

Does Roon really need Intel i7 and SSD?

Actually the Amazon Fire runs on Amazon’s own version of Android. There are ways to hack the Amazon Fire tablet and make it a fully Android-compatible device. It is not too complicated but it is not plug and play. You can find how-to directions on the internet. I have two Amazon Fire tablets running Roon perfectly as well as several other Android apps.

Am not really interested enough in a Fire to do any hacking of their OS. I'll just go with a Samsung tablet and my Android phone.
Still trying to find the 'right' DAC. Everything seems to come with bells & whistles, which are of no interest to me. Things like volume controls, headphone amps, etc. Want a small size, balanced, DAC that will do PCM, DSD & MQA. Its starting to look like the Mytek Liberty is as close as anything. Thanks, again. Update: Placed the order for an Intel NUC7i7BNH (tall box), SATA 2.5" 1TB internal HD, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD system storage, iFi 15V/1.2A wall wart & 8" 32GB Galaxy. The 16GB/256GB set-up was only $19 more than the 8GB/128GB set-up, so figured, 'why not'? Normally don't purchase extended warranties, but for $13 for 4yr ($3.25/yr) the cost was 'in the noise'. At that price, this must be quite reliable gear.
