Roon Labs Nucleus+

Product Description

Roon 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.

We have tried a lot of Roon-ready players, and have to say that firstly it's such a relief to find this is by far the easiest and quickest way to get music playing with Roon. There is no configuration or setup screens, you literally turn it on and you're playing. That's the big drawcard with this device, and for those coming from CDs and vinyl, and perhaps a little apprehensive about digital players, this is the way to go. 

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 optimised to do just one thing: browse and play music. 

There are two variations of the new Roon Nucleus;

• Nucleus (i3 processor, 4Gb RAM, 64Gb OS SSD)
• Nucleus+ (i7 processor, 8Gb RAM, 128Gb OS SSD).
