Roon Nucleus+ Network Streamer

Finally, all the music you love is at your fingertips 24/7 and everyone can use it.
— TONE PRODUCT OF THE DECADE, 2000-2019

  

Every Roon Nucleus and Nucleus+ now comes with a one-year subscription to Roon worth $119.88 ($9.99 a month, billed annually). 

The Roon Nucleus is designed to run the engine of the Roon system, the Core. It is the device that manages your library and sends music out to the various Roon Endpoints in your home.

If necessary, the Nucleus can also function as a streamer for a USB DAC.

The Nucleus makes Roon totally plug and play. It runs a pared down OS designed by Roon called ROCK, and is therefore a dedicated, low noise, low jitter appliance. You need nearly no computer knowledge and certainly don't need any deep network skills.

You control Roon using the Remote which is installed on a smart phone or tablet. The Roon Core (on the Nucleus) does all the heavy work--album indexing, data streaming, leaving the app on your phone to be fast and light.

This also means you can use Roon for upsampling or DSP. 

Use the Nucleus if you have fewer than 10,000 albums and aren't supporting many zones and DSP. Pick the Nucleus+ for larger collections and/or heavy DSP use across many zones.
