In the beginning I was a bit apprehensive about using the USB output of the Nucleus+....but it works just fine.
In my book, the fact that Roon implements their own OS (be it a tweaked version of open source Linux) in the Nucleus is very reassuring. Microsoft’s and Apple’s shenanigans cannot spoil the party. If ever you are looking for an alternative for the Mac Mini, the Roon Nucleus comes highly recommended.
Some very expensive server/player combo’s run Roon Core on a Windows 10 operated board in their units. I would avoid those like the plague.
