Thank you for enabling comments! Effectively you have created a modern equivalent of a Jukebox. I was planning to do something similar (on a smaller scale) - been trying to find a decent smallish monitor
A wish i have had for years, a physical jukebox for digital media. Never found good software but with the recent discovery of Roon i finally found it. And yess now its time to build this. Thanks for the inspiration. It is exactly what you state, you miss a physical feel on a digital library.
This big touch screen does give a HIGH END feel when we're using it, especially when handling multiple zones it's just feels way more better than a smartphone, for me smartphones feels like playing music through a Bluetooth speaker , PERSONALLY 😄
I run the Roon UI on Ubuntu using Wine. It takes a bit of installing (the right version of Wine, mainly) but then it is mostly fully functional. Which I love because it’s my workstation during the day
I think this is a fantastic idea... that touchscreen will be added to my setup fe sure.... if you like sharing music with others essentially thos can become a jukebox like fixture in a home
NECRO! lol.. love the video.. one of the issues with a lot of touch screen monitors (even down at the 15-16 inch size) is that they put their ports on the side, so even if you put a NUC on the back on the VESA mounts etc, you still have unsightly cables coming from the side of the monitor.
Just getting into streaming with a Cambridge CX system and I’ve pressed an old iPad Air into service as a controller/viewer Gradually removing all other distractions from it so audio will be all it does eventually. I like the rabbit hole experience of Quobus and can see me getting into Roon shortly, thinking of building a Roon core. Thanks for the inspiration! 🙏🏻
Hi mate, you have confirmed my thoughts on what I desire for my streaming set up, so many times my phone acts as a distraction, Facebook etc, so having a dedicated place to select my music is great, be even better with a remote.
*THIS IS A TEST* -- With this video, we are trialling a new way of doing things: the comments section below has been switched ON but will be *moderated by a third party* who is under strict instruction not to approve racist or sexist remarks, URLs, (the seeds of) conspiracy theories or the unsubstantiated ramblings of grumpy geezers. If this test goes well, we will consider activating third-party comment moderation on other videos. The upshot? You have the possibility to leave a comment below the video but I don't get tied up in comment moderation and can stay focussed on making the next video, the next podcast and managing the Darko.Audio website and Patreon. I am not here. I am elsewhere.
Back in the day you need cleaning equipment for the records. Now you need cleaning equipment for all the Touchscreens. It's all different - it's all the same :)
This video made me buy an extra tablet / dock and a Bluetooth keyboard for next to my streamer. 27 inch is a bit much for me since I've already got a 49 inch screen for daily use with my laptop but next to my streamer that Lenovo p11 will look awesome 😎
Can you have the same stream going to multiple zones at the same time? I found Roon disappointing for searching classical recordings. Is there an alternative search engine for streaming services?
Today i am so happy with finally realising this option at home. I decided to go with a 22 inch touchscreen. Now i finally have that tactile feeling again with my digital content. In a few days the surface dial arrives as well and then i can finalize the Roondial option as well. Again many thanks for this video @Darko Audio
What are you currently using for your screen these days? I just closed a deal on an M10 and going back to digital! I want a dedicated screen for my digital experience and not be my phone where everything else is. Thinking about placement, stand, size that works for moving it around with me, or not, .... And it comes with BluOS. How does it compare with Roon now?
So if I got it straight, whichever touchscreen monitor I use with my NUC core via hdmi/usb, would work this way? Also could I add a keyboard I I wanted?
I took a trial suscription with TIDAL, with tha MQA Helm audio on my MAC, and the light remains Blue does not seem like wanting to get Magenta? Also I can't connect MQA with the Iphone 11, can't seem to find a proper connector from USB C to lightning. Do you have any suggestions? Hope I'm clear.... Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hi John, really enjoy all your top shelf content ...thank you! :-) I have the same question as Collin below :: Figured out yet how to stream simultaneously to multiple zones on your setup ? it be a fabulous follow up vid ..pls? Shine On!
Also .. i know this may be the wrong video for this question, what do you feel today about the sound quality of roon to cxn V2 vs tidal connect to cxn V2 or even to a node? Better? Same? Clinical?
Hi Darko, I love your channel and learn a lot from you. I've a new android phone and Ibasso DC03. The Ibasso came with a UAC volume application that is crash a lot. I'm using Spotify and USB audio player pro/ Do I need the UAC application in between the Spotify or the USB player pro? Looking forward to your reply
large touch pad can be physically exhausting....hands, shoulders, back continuous movements, i prefer mouse when listening to music since minimal movements executed and less body conscious when absorbing music.
WOW! How did you get get to choose your device (node) as a pre-specified output device? I have a touchscreen dedicated for my tidal as well. But I have to choose my device (cxn v2) every time I want to start streaming.
Love the the videos to see the possibilities. As a luddite I am always somewhat confused. So many questions. eg, why do you need a Node with the Buchardt? I thought that was the point of the A500 was to not need a Node.
Ill start by stating I don't mean to sound insulting. But don't you feel with all the devices and services your running, thats it's such a convoluted setup that you don't use them enough to justify having them all.
I am new to streamers... just bought bluesound... I am wondering why bluesound streaming through tidal and Spotify can’t work as easily as direct Bluetooth on cheap non network devices? Isn’t that what we are paying for?
My vote goes to the 12.9inch iPad Pro.... Having a large 27inch touch screen although cool looking, is not intuitive or convenient IMO. Messing around with windows is not a great user experience.
Concert albums are one and certain albums are designed to flow into eachother (often a thing in Ambient music or certain electronic albums). A gap really disturbs the flow in those cases.
I like yours videos very much. But a topic that never pops up is electricity... Pity. Those servers are always on. Same for the rest of the gears. So having everything ready all the time, connected all the time is incredibly costly in terms of power and carbon footprint. It's not a sustainable model.
