Forest audioquest cable any good?
Creeds,longer usb cables tend not to work very well. Is this not true?  Grass is green and similarly, spending lots of money on usb cables is controversial (connectors and shielding all makes sense) 
Why do I need an additional player device if I have a Roon nucleus and a dac?
Thanks for Darko link. Seems he is using roon to connect to streamers.  A way of promoting products he may be getting paid for.he doesn’t choose to keep it simple by using nucleus connected to a standalone dac.  His setups are abit involved.  I li... 
Briscati m5 sample rate 192 and chord TT2
I have since learned alittle, and plan to connect nucleus direct to the dac via usb.and then next step will be to insert the mscaler as soon as I figure out more about it. 
Chord mscaler - what’s connected and Settings used
to clarify,what levels on your mscaler do you set things at while listening?Do you max out upsampling level? Or do u explore the range of flexibility. Curious to get an example of how this device is used while operating it. 
Why do I need an additional player device if I have a Roon nucleus and a dac?
Thanks verdantaudio,great info.i will likely get the nucleus.my Ethernet occurs by splitting the incoming tv cable, supports modem and tv.  A hole in floor is how cable comes into room. Also, via router I feed Ethernet to this room and a downstair...

Thanks all and especially drrsutliff.  Streaming equipment can be abit challenging to understand, and it don’t need to be.  So easy to make a purchase mistake, etc.  
Briscati m5 sample rate 192 and chord TT2
Great news.  Bricasti as a player between roon nucleus and a TT2 chord dac seems like a great line up. 
Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
So looking at the antipodes dx and seems this is a very good device.   A basic nice looking box, but not flashy. I am going back and forth between standalone server device and player device.  Soooo much overlap.  Maybe I will get a nucleus and a s... 
DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player
Planning to get the m5.  Is a chord tt2 a good companion?  Saw m5 specs saying sampling rate up to 192 for m5, but tt2 clearly can go a lot higher.  Is this limiting factor?? 
Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
It is a very expensive box, innuos zenith mk3.i am thinkIng about assembling the pieces separately, and may do a lot better this way. Could get a nucleus and briscasti m5 network player, and an ssd - all for about the same price. Seems this would ... 
Streamers, servers, players - woefully overpriced??
How can I improve on a roon nucleus if I do it myself?  Why don’t others sell similar standalone units?  Either DIY or buy a nucleus nothing in between. 
Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
I think techno risk for obsolescence is minimal given this area of the audio signal foodchain.  Improvements will be made and hoping firmware updates will mitigate this.  Can see a dozen yrs of use for this basic equipment. 
Why not combine streamer, roon core,endpoint, server and cd ripper together??
Power management is key and for innuos, this is a big part of why it works so well so they say.   Crazy not to consolidate all this stuff.  Going upstream with amps, dacs, preamps, it will likely remain separate due to size.  But all the heavily r... 
Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus
so including the so including the roon core inside a streamer box, eg. innuos zenith is not a problem.  Value of a stand-alone headless roon core device Is not a concern.i would like to avoid having a separate box like a roon nucleus, when it coul... 
Lifetime Roon is a go - alternative to Roon Nucleus
i am 13 years old and pride myself on thinking for myself.  My parents spoil me by letting me buy overpriced audio products.  Streaming is a technical jungle filled with peril.
