Audiostore Lux Roon Edition

Description

New Specification 2020

Roon is a great tool for managing large, complex music libraries. Tight integration with both Tidal and Qobuz means that whatever size your own collection, it feels that there are millions of records in your library

Roon server* software is standard on all Vortexbox Nova systems. As Roon is more processor intensive than the other applications that we run we specify our Roon Servers to include a special more powerful, energy efficient CPU. (* Use Roon local connection, Squeezelite or a Roonready NAA or streamer)

Nova uses a customised version of SonicOrbiter software. Run all standard Nova Applications + Roon Server + play to local USB DAC or network player around the house (such as microRendu)

Use of Roon requires Roon Membership (chargeable) and Roon playback App 

Based on Audiostore Lux system. Aluminium front and sides, very low noise, ‘heat-pipe’ fan-less operation

Add a DAC and amplifier for a versatile all-in-one streaming solution as Lux can run all of the other Nova Server environments. Squeezebox, Roon*, UPnP/DLNA, Sonos etc compatible. Supports flac, alac, MP3 etc.   Roon licence or trial required.
