Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS


I’m considering a Roon Nucleus+ for streaming to dCS DACs. DCS says networked streaming is superior to USB on their DACs. As such, the easiest way to get content from local is a Roon Core. Is there any sonic advantage to something more expensive? The Nucleus will not be co-located with the audio rack - but will run on Ethernet and there will be no Wifi in the path. It seems like for networked listening, as long as the device can serve up the file quickly, there shouldn’t be a sonic advantage to other devices, but would certainly welcome information to the contrary.

I don’t have the mighty DCS DAC but I cant tell w redbook .wav files off my NAS 60’ of ethernet cable to NAIM. I would be interested in your opinion of the ROOn product if you go that way, I am considering it as well as small green computer.
I should add that I have ROON core running off a laptop right by the NAS.
