To complement its core business as a subscription-based music management software platform, Roon makes hardware servers for Roon users to store and stream their music library. The company, which was recently acquired by Harman, recently announced its flagship Nucleus Titan server, and now has introduced a much more affordable model, the Nucleus One, to complete a two-strong lineup.
Roon is promising audiophile sound quality and affordability from the Nucleus One, which costs $500 (approximately £400 / AU$780) – considerably less than the starting price of the $3699 Titan, and making it the cheapest Roon server ever. It replaces the previous, pricier Nucleus server with “updated hardware” and a “cutting-edge performance” the company says is comparable to previous models.
