Roon Nucleus as a Streamer


The Roon Nucleus and Nucleus+ have been recommended here as a music streamer hooked up directly to a DAC via USB or i2s. Others advise against this saying it should only be used as a music server with a dedicated music streamer in the loop. What are your thoughts?

I use the Nucleus plus with a ps audio directstream dac along with a 14rb external hard drive with 10tb of high res music. I also stream tidal and quboz

The roon acts as a wickapedia of music and is very informative.  Overall i am very happy with the sound and the convenience of it all. 

I run the usb from the roon to my external hard drive only. The directstream dac uses the ethernet to connect the roon
