RE: I disagree with him about the Nucleus/Nucleus+

Posted by Doug Schneider on August 12, 2020 at 18:15:58:
Hi Kal,

I didn't know they specced it out like that on their site -- and I'm glad they did that.

As a former computer guy, the first time I laid eyes on the Nucleus I thought it was a bad audiophile joke. Dropping a low-grade Intel NUC into an aluminum chassis and charging about 2X the price is hardly what I call "tech worthy." True, it may be more plug'n'play than the real NUC, but for a couple of hundred dollars, tops, you could get some young computer guy to just assemble it for you.

But if they specced out the parts, it's at least being honest about what it is and the option people have.
