Does Roon download entire track into RAM? [Memory Playback Discussion]

[philr]

Here is what happens with Tidal.

Tidal buffering

It will be great if Roon allows us to set a buffer size for Tidal playback in Roon. We in China which is not officially supported by Tidal, has poor playback. By setting a 10/20/30s buffers, and Roon also buffers ahead for the next song in the playlist, we will be able to listen to Tidal with a smoother, non-stop playback.

I would be surprised if it does not work pretty much the same off your NAS but obviously the Roon team would need to confirm.

Network activity would also depend on your setup are RoonServer and HQP on the same machine and is your DAC attached to that same machine or are you using an NAA?
