Building a Roon server

That Teddy LPS is a funny story :laughing:

If your Roon server is not connected directly to your streamer or DAC, then it is connect to your network.

Therefore, there is no difference in terms of sound between a nice Intel NUC, a Nucleus, a MacMini or a PC. It’s just a server somewhere in your network.

It is that simple. And it makes perfect sense. There is no technical reason I am aware of that would lead me to think otherwise.

But… I’m not a stubborn person.

I read some interesting comments about networked Roon servers that would benefit from an LPS.

So I did a pretty expensive experiment. I bought a $500 linear power supply to power my already very expensive Roon server.

Result : not the slightest difference.

I now have a nice NUC with an expensive and useless power supply :smile:

It was a $500 fail :laughing:

Of course, this is just my own experience, YMMV.
