Roon Nucleus 1TB SSD with linear power supply 19V

The Roon Nucleus 1TB SSD with linear power supply 19V is a silent, fanless network music server/streamer designed to run the Roon Core with maximum stability. It is intended for enthusiasts and advanced users who want multi-zone, bit-perfect streaming and a centralized library without compromising on reliability.

Technical characteristics:

• Role: Roon Core server/streamer (Roon OS), passive cooling, aluminum case.
• Storage: internal 1TB SSD for music/base; support for external USB drive and network shares (NAS).
• Network: Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45); no integrated Wi-Fi (wired connection recommended).
• Audio outputs: USB 3.0 (for USB DAC), HDMI (stereo/multichannel PCM, for AVR/processor).
• Formats and resolutions: PCM up to 384 kHz/32‑bit and DSD (DoP/Native) up to DSD256 — limited by the capabilities of the connected DAC.
• Endpoint Protocols: RAAT (Roon Ready Devices), AirPlay, Chromecast, Sonos.
• DSP functions (Roon): parametric EQ, upsampling, crossfeed, convolution/room correction, headroom management.
• Power supply: linear 19 V DC on (stabilized, low noise), low consumption and continuous operation 24/7.

Sound characteristics:

As a transport/server, Nucleus delivers a bit‑perfect signal; the tonal signature determines the DAC and the rest of the chain. The fanless construction reduces mechanical noise, while the linear power supply can contribute to lower electrical noise at the USB/HDMI output, which in some systems manifests itself in a more stable background and better micro-detail (depending on the DAC and system grounding).

Compatibility and application:

• high-performance USB DACs; Roon Ready network players via Ethernet.
• AVR/processors via HDMI for stereo and multichannel PCM.
• Control: Roon apps for iOS/Android/Windows/macOS; library from an internal SSD, USB drive or NAS.

Condition and maintenance:

Used, excellent condition — aesthetically and functionally preserved copy. A 19 V linear power supply is included. Recommendation: wire mesh and good ventilation of the space. Roon OS updates are done automatically. Note: Roon subscription/license is not part of the offer unless otherwise noted.
