Nucleus, is there a better alternative?


My system uses a Lumin x1 which includes a dac and streamer, so I don't need a box with a streamer and a dac.

Concern is that the nucleus which hosts roon, which I use, might be introducing noise into system. I like the way it sounds but could I do better?

Maybe I need to consider an optical connection vs a Straight ethernet connection between the nucleus and the X1.

Curious about any ideas

That’s not true where I am, where Verizon Fios brings fiber right into the house where it connects to an "Optical Network Terminal." On the other hand, Comcast ("Xfinity") uses a lot of fiber, but it’s copper from the street to the house.
