Thank you to all for the advice on setup, particularly to Gary who gave me the hope that this setup MIGHT work for AIR. No issues so far but, knowing AIR, that could change at any moment.

I've had it playing overnight with a variety of file formats including DSD and high res FLAC. Music plays instantaneously and library/TIDAL browsing is slick. I downgraded the QNAP to it's stock 4GB ram specification and used the 8 GBx2 DIMMs in the NUC instead.įirstly, the NUC is absurdly quick with absolutely zero lag interfacing with ROON over wi-fi. The QNAP storing the music is also wired to the router. Connections from the D200 and NUC are via ethernet to a router. The NUC is running ROONServer and AIR on Win10 64 bit. I installed 16GB of RAM on the NUC and a Samsung EVO 250GB M2.SSD. I ended up purchasing a NUC, the Intel 5i5RYK, which is the slim form factor variant. The music discovery experience and interface is better than anything I have ever used. That is a great idea and does actually work.but I'm sold on ROON. You are also able to play any (high res) format. This has been released recently and provides the best audio performance.
