Greetings! I wanted to update this post as I went ahead and upgraded the RAM today on the nucleus plus. I added in two 8 GB RAM sticks by Crucial/Micron. The process is super easy taking less than five minutes from start to finish which included taking it off the audio rack, opening it up, switching out the ram, and putting it back on the rack, plugging everything back in. Will be interested to see if the performance gains remain after several days of use, but it only took a few seconds to note how much snappier the device ran when it came to loading images, completing searches and populating the results, jumping from artist to artist via the hyperlinks built into the software, etc. Certainly did not notice nor did I expect to hear any improvement in sound quality, but certainly the utility/function of the software is much closer to what I recall when I first subscribed in 2015. As many on the forum have noted, including myself, there was a significant slow down for a number of users after roon 1.6 was released (when Qobuz was added). Obviously the size of my library is quite large which is probably why 8 GB alone was not enough to load things as fast as 5 yrs ago…lots of virtual library additions plus two streaming services and 3+ TB in ripped CDs/hires downloads. So something to consider if you have giant library or at least more than 15,000 albums and 220,000 tracks like me and cheap to implement too!
Thanks
Doug
