![]() To my mind Roon’s not quite as easy as Sonos but the extra quality and features make the relatively small increase in complexity definitely worth it with the bonus that it runs on our Sonos hardware.īecause the Nucleus runs the Roon Core no need for computer to be on. All in all Roon and Nucleus has been another significant step forward in ou r H i-Fi system and the quality, variety, experience and enjoyment of mus ic . Roon has been stable and delivering great listening results and lots of interesting reading. Using Roon controllers (computer, iPads and iPhones) to control 11 outputs (this includes outputting to our Sonos hardware around our house). ![]() Have been enjoying the MQA decoding by Ro on (in part) and the Brooklyn (balance) but to my ears it is not always clearly better (Schiit Jotunheim and LCD3s or Oppo HA1 and PM1s which are not MQA often just as good). The system and software has performed flawlessly in all formats (incl MQA) in 2ch and multichannel. Love the Roon interface and have discovered heaps of music through Tidal and Roon radio. I had some great help on the StereoNet audio software forum to get the multichannel working (overcoming my own incompetence). HDMI out to Denon AVR 4520 for multi channel. USB2 output to Oppo HA1 Headphone Amp with Oppo PM1 headphones and USB1 output to Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ for MQA decoding to go through Musical Fidelity M6si and Paradigm Reference Studio 100s I connect the outputs of the Nucleus as follows: Used dbPoweramp and separate CD drive to rip at computer in office and saved direct to Roon SSD via Ethernet There is a very good White Paper published by Roon on why they didn’t include cdripper with Nucleus and other design choices. Self installed 1TB SSD and loaded about 15,000 FLAC tracks onto the Nucleus. ![]() Also photo of Roon controller on computer with Roon running to NAD (for LS50s) and Schiit Jotunheim (for LCD-3 headphones). I got into Roon in the last half of 2018 and went the next step early 2019 by installing a 15m Ethernet run to connect our upstairs modem/router (connected to NBN) to the Roon Nucleus in our downstairs main system. ![]()
