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 have a Roon Nucleus Plus connected to a PS Audio DirectStream DAC and the SQ streaming Qobuz is awesome.

I'm not sure I'd put another device in the path.
