The next-gen Nucleus for everyone
Nucleus One sets a new standard, offering a best-in-class music experience at an unrivaled price point. With visual characteristics that echo the premium Nucleus Titan, Nucleus One is an affordably-priced, dedicated Roon server molded from high-quality polycarbonate featuring a distinctive "bird's nest" top.
High-value meets Hi-Fi
Nucleus One achieves our ultimate hardware goal - to create the most high-value, low-cost Roon Server possible while retaining the same rock-solid operation, performance, sound quality, and stunning aesthetics customers expect from Nucleus. Budget audiophiles rejoice! Nucleus One exceeds all expectations by delivering performance comparable to our previous Nucleus model for the price of a no-name mini-PC.
In the rare case where one team can control hardware, firmware, operating system, and application software, it’s possible to do amazing things. We’ve been on a mission to develop something unique we could recommend to our friends and families. Nucleus One is the culmination of all our experience up to this point: a dedicated Roon server for the price of an off-the-shelf mini PC.
