So what are most of you using as a Roon Server since I am in the market for a replacement of my macmini ? Hoping to find a replacement for under 2k .
Just get an Intel NUC and power it with a $12 Jameco linear power supply. Job done.

Or, for a turnkey solution, get a SonicTransporter from Small Green Computer. You can get one with a 1 TB driver for $1275.https://www.smallgreencomputer.com/p...ransporter-i5#
