Let Roon upsample vs let Lumin T2 do the work


I've reluctantly invested in Roon for my Lumin T2.  I read somewhere to turn off all the processing in the Lumin app and let Roon do all the upsampling.  What's the benefit of that?  I figure my Lumin is built specifically for making the best signal possible. 

Secondly, my Roon core is an Asus ROG desktop computer, is it doing any work?  It's certainly not audiophile grade.

Yes it's a gaming computer with 16gb of ram and i7 processor.  It has plenty of power to do whatever, but does it do it the same as the Lumin?
@tuberist thanks for the input.  Why use the computer/Roon instead of the lumin though?
Also, why would one not like the DSD512 presentation?  Isn't that just higher quality or truer to the original?  Isn't it just a higher accuracy basically?
Then how does one get real DSD?  Download each individual song from some online music service? 
Looks like 192kb just plays higher with zero difference in the audible range.. I have no idea how to interpret that graph not being an engineer :)
