System looks so cool. And I bet it sounds like it too.

Horizon requires a driver like this:

Only if you use an antique primitive outdated OS like Windoze. Step up to the 21st century with a Mac OS or a Linux and free yourself from the scourge of downloading USB drivers, which is what everyone *should* be using for serious audio work. The Blue Screen of Death catastrophe that brought large parts of the world to a screeching halt earlier this year should be yet another reminder what a piece of crap Windoze is. After suffering with innumerable variants of that awful OS since Windows 3 in 1990, I tossed out the last PC I had a few years ago. I have 1 aging Windows laptop that I only fire up since it runs the software for my Amplitrex tube tester. One day soon, I'll do that on a VM, and throw out the garbage Windows laptop as well. Fortunately, in the Bay Area, we have collection agencies that are happy to take all your silicon junk. I've thrown away oodles of old drives, keyboards, and other desiderata in the past couple of years.

Hey Lukasz,
Which Linux build do you use or recommend? I’ve never tried it but maybe it’s time to add a Linux build onto my pc.

If I install Linux, will I need redo my ROON library ? I’d hope so since ROON runs on any operating system.

I'm not going to answer for LF, but there is music server/streamer that works exceptionally well with Lampizator built by another Polish guy called Lukasz also in Wroclaw (add Lukasz from Horns into the mix and you begin to see a pattern of Polish brilliance in audiophile equipment and the name Lukazs!).

Lukasz Domanski runs Lucas Audio Labs and his LDMS Minimax is a giant killer of a music box. It's Taiko Extreme level performance for one third the cost. It is however, Windows based.

There is a dedicated thread on the Computer Based Music forum and an excellent review here.
