DIGITAL STREAMING SUPREMO ROON NUCLEUS+ SPECIAL OFFER ON NOW
In Roon's own words, “The music player for music lovers,” and “Forget everything you know about music players. Music is an experience, and Roon reconnects you with it.”
Roon takes you on a musical journey from the comfort of your favourite chair, along with the convenience of controlling music throughout your home with ease from your phone, tablet or computer.
When Roon Labs announced its own hardware solution last year, the obvious thought was that what better harmony could exist between the player, server and physical components?
The Nucleus is an off the shelf hardware solution, ready and willing to serve as the core to your digital music library, serving music seamlessly to all willing and able end-points.
Its two forms include Nucleus ($1999 RRP - Intel i3, 4Gb RAM, 64Gb OS SSD) is ideal for streaming up to 5 simultaneous zones and managing a library of up to 12,000 albums.
Nucleus+ ($3499 RRP - Intel i7, 8Gb RAM, 128Gb OS SDD) is capable of smoothly managing hundreds of thousands of tracks and unifying your collection like nothing else. It'll handle even the most enormous music libraries with ease. This one is recommended for the processing grunt required for DSD or heavy DSP usage.
Nucleus+ will also stream simultaneously to as many different zones as your wireless network can handle, as well as having the processing grunt to run extensive DSP including upsampling, room correction and more.
Featuring a solid-state hard drive for Roon's own 'ROCK' operating system, you can also add a secondary internal SSD or HDD hard drive for music storage. The simplest method however is to either connect an external HDD via the rear USB ports, or point Roon straight to the network location of your Network Attached Storage (NAS).
Via participating dealers there's a 20% off promotion until June 30 2019, bring the Nucleus+ down to $2,799.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
