Roon Optimization Guide For Increased Sound Quality
I have been running Roon core off a desktop with an 800w power supply. Draws significantly more power (to run OS, other apps, background processes, etc.) than I imagine this Nucleus One would. Also you could hardwire this to a router for better connectivity which is difficult to do with a laptop...- rhart00

Roon Optimization Guide For Increased Sound Quality
Preordered one yesterday as my very first Nucleus. I have been running Roon server/core off an old desktop that I keep running all the time, mostly just for Roon. Love the price point here. Much more competitive with building your own NUC but plug and play.- rhart00

Questyle CMA18 Portable DAC with Headphone Amplifier
I have an M15 that I bought when it was first released. No hiss whatsoever when using SE cables on my CF Andromeda 2020. When I switch out to a balanced HP cable with the same IEMs, I do pick up some hiss. USB-C to Samsung S23 Ultra. Stick to SE cables and am very happy with the M15- rhart00

Burson Soloist 3X Performance Head/Pre Amp - 8Wpc XLR with MUSE72320 volume control
I may have had a similar problem. My 3xp would restart after a few minutes and then keep restarting more frequently after that. I reached out to Burson, and they had a try a few different things and ultimately discovered it was a Supercharger power supply issue. They sent me a new SC and...- rhart00
