Roon Nucleus as Network Player

I'm currently using my Roon Nucleus as my network player in my main rig.   I have it hooked up to a Chord Qutest via Curious USB Cable.  It replaced a Bluesound Node 2i as my go to network player.  If you too have a Roon Nucleus or Nucleus Plus, and you've utilized it as a network player, I'd be most interested in your experience using a Nucleus in this role.

I'm using Roon ROCK running on a NUC8 i7 (essentially the same as a Nucleus Plus) but just as a server - streaming through a Bryston BDP-2 with AES connection to my DAC.

I'm curious to hear how well the Nucleus works streaming directly over USB. Many manufacturers are investing a lot to make USB a better option for input (compared to SPDIF and AES) and I suspect in the future USB will be the preferred option for most DACs.
