RE: Mini/Roon/Nucleus/NUC....... A Fork In The Road

I would think an M1 Mini would be total overkill for the application. These things outperform Mac Pros in some tasks. Apple should still have some of the prior Intel versions of these for cheap that'll serve the purpose.

That said, I still don't get Roon. I don't have a large library, tiny in fact, but use Qobuz for all of my music. I don't need a piece of expensive proprietary software running to play that. I never stored my CDs on a server nor tried to digitize my LPs so maybe that's why I never thought Roon was useful. At this point though I've basically bypassed all that with streaming in hi-res. Roon is just needlessly complex for that.
