UNITY CORE vs ROON

Posted by: Bobfa on 11 September 2018

I have recently purchased a Unity Atom. I am re-thinking my server software/hardware. I have a Sonic Transporter (I5) and it is currently running Roon. I am "interested" in moving to the Unity Core. I have been testing other UPnP sever software and I find them mostly slow or unreliable.

I really would like to just use the NAIM app and be done with other software. Roon is really great but it adds complexity.

What are folks thoughts on the sound quality from the CORE vs other servers?

How does the CORE perform vs Roon or UPnP?

I just got my sonic Transporter as well. I'm in the process of copying my music over to it (~1.4tb), although I'm not positive I shouldn't just point it to my nas instead of putting my music on it. Probably doesn't matter in the long run.

So after you finish the copy. Mount the NAS or a folder on the NAS and compare tracks.

I use a Zen Mini acting as the Roon core and it’s an excellent solution. Add onto that it rips CDs and auto backs up to my Nas to me it’s a perfect solution and sounds amazing through my Atom.
