Re: Roon End-point for Soulution 760 DAC
This has been my experience. With my Naim NDS at the time I could not hear a difference (all over ethernet with the same consumer-grade switch on my little server rack) between Naim UnitiServe, Synology and QNAP nas boxes running Minimserver or Asset, and Roon running on a Roon Nucleus. Now with my Naim ND555 I use the Roon Nucleus. It's many rooms away from my hi fi and the ethernet comes to the hi fi through an RJ-45 wall plate, into an Ansuz PowerSwitch, and then to the ND555. I did find that adding this switch as the final leg brought about the 'lower noise floor' that people look for with high end network gear. That last leg seems important.

Re: Roon End-point for Soulution 760 DAC
I asked the folks at Aurender for a technical explanation on noise. They said:
“What it comes down to is that a more powerful CPU (or, more accurately a more power-HUNGRY CPU) is going to draw more current. With more current, you get larger/more significant spikes and aberrations in power. These spikes are measurable and defined as "noise." So, with higher power, you get higher spikes.
I hope this helps to understand and explain the reason why a lower-power CPU is preferable in an audio application.”

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
