Nucleus is the center of your Roon music system. It’s the housekeeper, the traffic cop, and the brain that takes care of the music in your life. Using Nucleus, Roon manages all your music – on hard drives, NAS, and streaming content – and allows you to play it on all the audio devices around your home. Nucleus is the best way to run Roon, at any price. Just plug Nucleus into your network, connect your hard drives, download Roon remote apps (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows) and you’ll be ready to play music using a wide variety of audio devices, including AirPlay, Sonos, Roon Ready, Devialet, KEF, Meridian, Squeezebox, and a huge variety of USB DACs. Aside from being a powerful, fanless music server, what sets Nucleus apart is that it’s powered by Roon OS – a fast and lightweight operating system optimized to do just one thing: browse and play music. Roon is a multi-room, multi-user networked audio platform built to the exacting standards of audiophiles, so it offers features like bit-perfect playback, DSD and PCM upsampling, multichannel playback, and signal path display.

Seamless Functionality
If you love the Roon music software, this is a must have! I love being able to transition using the software from my phone to my iPad to my laptop seamlessly using the Nucleus as the core to my system. The hook up is extremely easy, I added a 2 TB card internally and connected directly to my matrix element X DAC, which is connected to the AV 8805 preamp via balanced cables. Sonically, I haven’t noticed any difference from using Roon from my MacBook Pro. But functionally it has been great, fast, responsive and I don’t have to have my Mac available to use Roon for music playback!
