Roon Nucleus vs Innuos

I am looking for some advice.  I am using a Roon Nucleus with my Linn streamer and find the sound is not quite as good as my turntable.  ( I am not trying to engender the analogue vs digital debate).  A friend suggested I consider transitioning to an Innuos server; either as a Roon endpoint or in conjunction with the Nucleus.  Has anyone compared the sound of these two devices?
Thanks

I compared the Nucleus to the Innuos Zen MK3. Heard the Nucleus first and thought it sounded really good. A few weeks later heard the Innuos. The Innuos sounded so good had to go back and listen to the Nucleus again. Both sound really good, but the Innuos was no question the quieter and more musical piece. I bought the Innuos and have been enjoying for a month with not one single hiccup. Very stable and well constructed. Extremely satisfied!

And this is from Innuos in regards to the Roon Core...

Roon Core on the ZEN should sound better as it takes more steps to reduce system noise, especially in regards to excessive network traffic noise on the Ethernet.Running with no DSP would also be our recommendation.Best Regards,


Good luck with your search.
