Dropping Windows recently has been liberating. I decide on a small project. A Roon server streamer build.
As I want it to be silent it needs to use an efficient CPU. I also didn't want to spend much. Particularly as it will be build for purpose. In fact the idea is that money I recoup from my desktop should pay for both the streamer and Roon lifetime membership (or bulk of it)
I will be operating it headless once setup (no screen) and will have an ability to rip CDs as well. Intended total cost should be within what Innuos Zen Mini cost if all goes to plan.
Fingers crossed all parts arrive today. Seems the case I ordered over the weekend from Germany might be here before SSD I got from the UK at the same time.
