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

If there is any difference it is probably due to the zenith which is not really up to running the Roon Core.

Nucleus vs. Innuos ZENith mkII as Roon Server

I have heard great things for the Innuos Zenith mkII. Compare it to Nucleus as a Roon Server - I know that it can also be a player / endpoint with Roon, plus disc ripping capabilities. Is there any advantage vs. the Nucleus? I see it has triple linear power supplies built in, each powers different parts of the circuits, has 1 tb of SSD disc, and Ethernet audio output to hook up a streamer via Ethernet. Has nyone tried them side by side? As a Roon Core that is. Thanks!

Have you tried running the Roon Core elsewhere on your network and using the Zenith as a Roon endpoint only? Does that make any difference.
