CES is still a thing? I joke because it still is a BIG Show for Consumer Electronics and now that Roon lives under the Harman International umbrella, a CES unveiling makes sense.
A lot of the press release buzz is built around the new Nucleus Titan’s looks—”Nucleus Titan melds cutting-edge performance with breathtaking aesthetics.” Which makes the absence of any actual images, except the exploded view up front, in said press release. . .tantalizing?
You can choose from 2, 4, or 8 TB of internal SSD storage and metal, stone (composite), or wood finishes (I’m trying to imagine stone with no luck) for your Nucleus Titan that also boasts updated hardware and performance.
Pricing for the new Roon Nucleus Titan starts at $3699.
Here’s the complete press release:
