Would I benefit from a dedicated streamer?

Currently, I'm streaming directly from a Roon Nucleus to the Holo May KTE DAC.  Would there be any sonic benefit from adding a streamer to the chain?  Or any benefit at all?  For reference, I have narrowed my choices down to these three, probably in this order:

Auralic G2.1
Lumin U1
Innos ZENith Mk3

I liken this to the discussion about adding a preamp to the chain, when your DAC has a volume control.  I'm in the camp for adding the preamp.  To me, it sounds better.  Thanks for your help.

I'm sticking with a dedicated barebones Acer laptop AMD CPU/20 Gb Ram , running Windows 10 and enhanced with AudiophileOptimizer,Fidelizer ,ProcessLasso and ParkControl.
I would consider a dedicated streamer if significant SQ gains were achievable , but no return policy on any products here in Thailand.
