So my setup was this:
Pretty modern i5 Intel NUC connected via USB to HDV820. This had Roon Rock in it. Controlled all by Macbook Air
My setup now: The NUC is running Windows 10 on it and is serving me as an 2nd desktop to backup files to google drive etc. via VNC. Basically as an server.
What i want: Plug HDV820 via USB to that Windows 10 NUC and run music from it. (Ofcourse when i do this only purpose of that nuc is to stream music in that time, no other backup's running etc.) Sound simple and is possible, right?
Now the problem comes that i want to control that music via upcoming iPad Pro. Is there an app or software or anything that i can install to that Win10 and control the music that way? Or is the only "real" way to do this, by just VM:ing into that NUC everytime i want to change a song.
(And i can install monitor and wireless keyboard + mouse. But that's not really elegant or practical for my use case)
And i could buy Roon Rock and run it. But a) Its hell of a expensive, alltrough exelent what it does. B) i want to do other things on that NUC aswell. It's useless if i install rock in it.
E: Apparently you can run ROON Core in Windows 10 machine. So this could be possible solution allthrough quite pretty penny. Anything alternatives?
