Got it. I should read more closely.

I suppose "inexpensive" is a relative thing, but the OP should be aware that Roon will not run on just any garden-variety NAS. Roon Server has a light footprint but does take some muscle, especially if your library is large or complex. I have an older Synology 5 bay NAS DS1512+ with an Intel Atom processor and 4MB RAM. It will run Plex and other media servers but chokes on Roon.

. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .

- I've been running Roon Core on my 2-bay Synology DS718+ NAS for a couple years now. It has a modest Intel Celeron quad-core CPU and 6 GB of RAM with 2 4TB spinning disks - and no SSDs. Pretty much a CPU/Disk configuration that Roon warns against.
- Prior to the NAS I had Roon on my 2012 Mac Mini 2.6GHz i7 quad-core with two SSD and 16GB of RAM.
If I were running heavy duty DSP and had a large library I would place Roon back on the Mac Mini. I don't run DSP except for the very occasional parametric EQ and my library is about 1000 albums. In this case, Roon runs fine on the low end NAS.

Yes, I don't know much about Roon .................. - Cut-Throat 15:49:42 03/07/21 (0)
I just tried a few times running on my Powerful Windows PC......It worked OK, but it wasn't for me...
