So...are there available already some NAS that can run ROON server by themself WITHOUT any PC involved ?

 

Yes, you can run Roon on a NAS now provided your NAS has sufficient horsepower and RAM.

Still living with the loan Dave until mine is delivered in a few days time and still learning how to get the best out of it. Next question, should I leave it turned on all the time or only turn on when I need to use it. The Dave I have at the moment has about 150 hours run-in and I think sounds warmer and fuller after it's been turned on for several hours. Thanks

I keep mine on stand by, using the remote to turn the Dave off and on.
Congratulations to the new Dave owners, your music listening will never be the same.

I think just about all audio gear sounds best when they've been on for a while and warmed up but leaving electronic gear on 24/7 will shorten their lifespan.  The DAVE comes with a 5-year warranty which is reassuring.
 
Here is a question I posed to Rob some time ago:
 
Is there a problem leaving the DAVE on 24/7 or is it best to put it into standby mode or turn it off completely at the end of each day?

I leave both my Daves on all the time - but I am just lazy...

Does your retailer offer you a loan DAVE until the product has been delivered? That does sound very generous! English people must indeed be very polite

Yes, I was lucky to come across this dealer. They're some way out of town but the only one I could find within a reasonable travel from London who had kept a demo model; all the others had sold every Dave as soon as it came in. And what's more, I got a very generous part exchange on my Hugo and Mojo.

What was your wait time to get yours?  Here in the U.S., there's still a line to get one and so dealers are quoting at least a month.

You must be talking about Fanthorpes then

It's really rare to find that in Switzerland too. As far as I know there is one shop with a demo DAVE in the whole country. Maybe I'll make that journey once

Well, from when I took the loan to when I expect mine to be delivered, it will be about a month.

Just by Curiosity, what CD player are you using with DAVE ? You are not tempted to rip them all on HD ?

I'm using both the Rega Isis and the Bryston bcd1-I haven't decided which one to commit to. I'm actually new to all this digital stuff beyond CD's so have no idea how I would rip my (quite large) CD collection to a better file?

Yes, I should clarify... ROON is working with Qnap to make a ROON app for Qnap devices, but it is not yet known just how much of a NAS you will have to have at this point. Unless I missed something?

 

[Sonic77]

I have a pile of LP's that I bought last year, still in their plastic wrappers, I haven't played them, that's how good the Dave is, I plan to open them up this weekend and compare the analogue records to digital Dave . I really like the sound of records and cant wait to compare to the Dave.

Since DAVE is so imune to the source quality, I will be able to keept my Auralic ARIES ... Now that it's software is FINALY stable and that it can act as a ROON endpoint.

So my question: in order to use ROON with the ARIES, I will need to run ROON server on some kind of PC that stay on my netork ? Right ? But... I do not want to ad a PC to my audio system !

So...are there available already some NAS that can run ROON server by themself WITHOUT any PC involved ?

This will be Great. Indeed I want to avoid leaving a PC on all the time and this will give me a good reason to finaly use a NAS instead if a USB HD ( USB Hd Is not stable with the ARIES when the library excess 1 Tb).

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the bluesound vault 2 this could be just what you're looking for
