A streamer that can be repurposed as a now playing screen for the Hegel amplifier’s Roon Ready streams when the time comes. H390 and H590 owners unable to wait for Roon Readiness to land on their amplifiers should consider a Raspberry Pi-based Roon Ready streamer with a 7″ touchscreen as an interim outboard solution. In today’s case, that’s a Hegel H120 or Hegel H190.

The Roon Remote app (or Roon’s MacOS / Windows variants) takes care of remote control, instructing the Core to stream music to the Roon endpoint directly.

For those who have more disposable income than free time, Roon offers the Nucleus: Rock OS running on that same NUC but stripped of its cooling fan and fitted into a ribbed metal chassis for passive cooling and a server that doubles as a Philippe Starck-esque design object. Check out our step-by-step video setup guide for that here and 10 more thoughts on the same here. Roon Labs has published a list of supported devices here. ROCK is a small, headless Linux operating system (OS) that puts Roon on an Intel NUC, but not all NUCs support ROCK. This post is a ten-point follow-up to the short film about Roon ROCK. Alternatively, a very specific NUC hardware configuration permits the installation of Roon Rock, a Linux-based OS that optimises the Core’s performance on dedicated Intel hardware. 10 more thoughts on Roon ROCK + Intel NUC.

ROCK running as the core, music stored on a NAS, Roon Remote running an iPad, and audio sent to RoonReady network devices.
That certification will be (Roon) ready when it’s (Roon) ready and Hegel will dispatch a press release when the time comes.įor anyone not yet hip to Roon basics, a typical setup involves three components: the server (called ‘Core’), a streaming endpoint and a (remote) controller to call the shots. Or stream your audio device (s) over your network Roon lets you use the right audio hardware for each room, by supporting Roon Ready, AirPlay, Sonos, Devialet AIR, Meridian, and Squeezebox devices. ROCK running as the core with all music stored on the ROCKs internal 2.5 inch hard drive (a USB drive connected for backup), Roon Remote running on an iPad, and audio sent to a directly attached USB or HDMI audio device. Their collective omission from Hegel’s press release suggests that Roon Ready status for the bigger Hegel integrateds has yet to be finalised.
This news announcement being specific to the H120 and H190 will understandably trigger some whataboutery: “What about the H390?” “What about the H590?”.
