Room Nucleus One USB port out to fiber converter to Ethernet DAV?


 

Does anybody know if I will be able to connect my DAC, which as currently configured, does not accept USB streaming, to the Nucleus One USB port using one of these::

StarTech.com USB to Fiber Optic Converter - Open SFP - 1000BASE-SX/LX - Windows/Mac/Linux - USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter”?  
I have good SFPs and the appropriate Corning Fiber.

I ask because I’d like to get my DAC off my LAN switch.  (The Nucleus and my esro 7 pro router, which is the gateway for WiFi in the home and several other Roon  endpoints, are on that switch.)

If the USB to Fiber converter route works from the Nucleus’ point of view, i can run the fiber to a Fiber to Ethernet converter and then Ethernet cable into my DAC. But will there be a breakdown in communication between the DAC looking for Ethernet protocols and the Nucleus sending out via USB 3.0 protocols?(I’m hoping that is exactly what the StarTech USB to Fiber converter plus the SFP is designed to handle, but just looking for guidance from anyone who knows.
Thanks!

As @erik_squires said - use M33 as roon end point. You don’t need to use nuckeus usb. Go to Settings, Audio and enable M33 as a device in roon
