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.

Upsampling creates more steps and the analog conversion becomes much smoother. The real difference happens when there are any cliffs in the sound. In that case, more granular data due to upsampling provides better transitions and smoothness.
