Minix Z83-4 for audio (Roon)

[Vst14]

I’m using my Z83-4 as a Roon server (core) in my Hi-Fi audio system. Few questions regarding possible improvements:
1. Can I use external Linear Power Source (LPS) for it? What parameters should it be arranged for? 12V and 2A? What is min-max available working range for it?
2. Can I install Roon Optimized Core Kit (ROCK) on my Z83-4?

Of course they’re suggesting NUC at first, but makes some notes that any PC with 4GB RAM and 64GB M.2 SSD as a minimal configuration can be used for that. Somehow, problems could arrange with some drivers only.
Does somebody tried ROCK on any Minix (not only Z83-4)? If so, I can propose it to my lots audio friends to use Minix as an audio computer (it is 5-7 times cheaper than average audio computer, Sonore SonicTransporter as an example).

Note: I’m already use Z83-4 as an audio computer for Roon Core, but on Win10 (less well for audio), and use Fidelizer to minimize Windows impact for audio source.
Minix have a lot of advantages as audio source: it’s fanless, small, 24/7, no metal case, rubber pads, etc.

PPS If Minix have any plans and ideas how to improve their future models for audio theme, I can suggest to add:
- second Ethernet port for direct connection to audio renderers or bridges (follows after PC in audio systems). Now I’m using the external USB-Ethernet card on this case;
- use Intel NUC if possible (Roon supported);
- additional cap in case to remove Wi-Fi antenna (it’s bad for audio);
- optical SPDIF as some other Minix’s models have.
It’ll be a great alternative for nova day audio PC and servers
