Drew Baird, P.E. , CEO & Founder of Moon Audio, opened up a Roon Nucleus+ to explain how the music server works, the Roon Software and to show you how to install a hard drive.

A few things pertaining to some of the comments. It's our brains that hear music. Some of us have ears more attuned to music and hear subtleties that others can't. Secondly: so much depends on the quality of equipment you are using. Sound quality is determined by the quality of engineering and the quality of one's hearing-not digits. In analogue terms: and remember all digits end up in analogue for music: just listen to the difference between a top-flight record deck and a basic one. Of course: if your hearing or mind won't facilitate hearing the difference then you possibly won't hear the difference. Likewise: different rooms and halls or theatres all affect sound. We're all different, thank goodness. For me I can hear so much more using the Roon not to mention the performance quotient.
One small thing, it's not a firewire at the end, it's thunderbolt 3
an i5 pc with an m.2 drive for software (256gb is enough) and a 1tb or a 2tb ssd drive works perfectly - as a pc and roon server. Instant music control using an ipad
I want to use my Mac mini as a server. I want to use roon to play Qobuz. I have a McIntosh c2600 with internal DAC. Any advice?
Awesome, thanks!
How does Roon OS compare to the Sonic Orbiter OS on my VortexBox for audio quality?
what is the largest internal hard drive that can be installed
Does roon output master mqa on Linux with fill unfold?
If you have a Ps audio DAC you still need something that will run Core.
The Roons "Core" software wouldn't download to my Ipad. It only downloaded to my PC which sucks.
You need either a nucleus or an Intel NUC to run roon core as your server. If you use a Mac or PC as your server, you install the roon server app for your operating system and _not_ core. Both, core and the server software, do the same, but on different hardware! - If your computer is only a client (with a server present in the same network), you install the plain roon app for your operating system. There are also roon apps for tablets and (i)phones. -- In your case your computer would be the server and the iPad would remote control what the server or the iPad itself or headphones connected to the iPad play. All this works wireless.
yeah i agree with the rest of the fellas .. Roon got my money on the app cause its dope ... but I dont need this crap so many other cheaper alternatives ! Good video though
Yes👍
this device appears to be a type of computer, how does it not produce noise?
There is no internal fan. It's a low powered computer and the case's fins act as a passive heatsink. If you put in a spinning hard drive as this video discusses, that hard drive will make a small amount of noise but you can't hear it unless you're right against it.
How the heck do you connect it to an external dac?
Just use the USB output on the back to the USB input on your external DAC!
@@moon-audio i thought USB was very noisy? I have a Denafrips Pontus II dac
Enjoyable video but I'm not seeing the logic spending £1,500 or £2,500 on one of these things when I can install roon on my laptop/tablet and buy a QNAP/Synology with 4TB SSDs that will do exactly the same for considerably less!
I did exactly that initially and it worked fine but I later added a Nucleus on trial from my local hi-fi dealer and this really speeded up the experience so I kept it. I initially had it running on my fully spec’d iMac, which is getting a bit old now (4 years), so you’d probably be quicker with a newer Mac, PC or laptop. The other advantage of a Nucleus is that you don’t have to have your Mac/PC/laptop on to listen to music and Roon runs on the Nucleus. So can then be controlled with an iPhone, iPad, etc.
firewire????
Looks like a Thunderbolt 3 logo and port to me.
The CEO needs to learn more about the products that he sells.
Roon hasn’t worked for last month since Catalina update when reading internal and external drives. Lots of frustration in the Roon forum and gone back you CDs. This can only happen again. Roon have been appalling and no fix on the horizon. Not replying when I asked for a refund.
just get the new update it is working with catalina right now
It's a good thing that Firewire port isn't connected to anything......because it's not Firewire. It's a Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt3 from the looks of it. It's even labelled (luckily for you guys) as a Thunderbolt port. The price of a Nucleus+ is obscene for what the buyer receives for his nearly $3000 .....and to make it all that much worse, you guys can't even figure out which ports are on it. Yep....makes ME want to drop big money.
The Network Jack on the rear of the unit is called an RJ-45 it's an 8 wire Jack also referred to as Ethernet. CAT5 (10-100Mbs data Rates) Cables are no longer Manufactured, that standard is over 15 years old. CAT 5e ( e Means Extended to 1GB data rate), CAT6 provides up to 100m/333Ft 1GB, 10Gb up to 180Ft. The Cost differential between CAT5e 24AWG and CAT6 23AWG is very small for a 1000Ft Box of cable! I would never install CAT5e inside your home or office CAT5e when the cost of CAT6 is not a lot more money.
The difference between the servers? Well the Nucleus is a rip-off and the Nucleus+ is an incredible ripoff lol.
The worse thing you can buy , is just a piece of garbage, i regreat to buy it , is really a waste of money, 9 times out of ten is not working properly!
