Why do I need an additional player device if I have a Roon nucleus and a dac?
Actually there is no question. Just some unintelligible statements.A Roon Nucleus IS an expensive streamer. But you know that. 
Stream to DAC - WXC50 /Node 2i /Project StreamBox
I have a Synology NAS. My simple external SSD plugged into the Pro-Ject is easier and faster to load and index. It sounds better than the Synology spinner too.I can load my music onto it remotely via Windows and wifi. Fast auto indexing too.

EVO always has to plug away. You want a cheaper alternative to $3k so he suggests $6k. Nice. I have a BlueSound and a Pro-Ject RS2 Ultra. The P-J sounds better stock, much better with an LPS. The control app (custom Volumio) is much better too. If... 
Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances?
Would like an unbiased review of it vs a gain cell. 
Are dimmable LEDs the least noisy dimmable type lighting for a music room
The lights themselves will squeal if the is a mismatch. I have LEDs in the room on 2 other circuits that add zero line noise.The one lamp that is plugged into the audio circuit added a little noise until I put a ferrite clamp on it, ala Russ Andre...

Front Stage Advise
Center IS most important for HT.A perfect center is the Ascend Horizon.If you want to reduce cost go with a single Ascend Sierra-2. The ribbon can be in either orientation. Done by them or you, 4 screws.3 Sierra-2’s will get a fine "stage" but you... 
What’s a good Transport with I2S output for Directstream dac?
Slim to none.Ted Smith a has stated repeatedly that he designed all inputs to be equal.Worry about quality, features and the IC more than the input bus.If you can scrounge up $5200 by Thanksgiving buy the new one. 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
I liked maggies ended up with ESL.If you're starting out make sure to audition actives in your room.45 days for ~$60. Cheap rent.Now you gotta get on a waiting list. They can't build them fast enough.A lot easier than finding an amp for the maggies.

The weakest link on ML39/390S type CD transport
Try teflon oil.After dealing with broken and slow drawer mechanisms I'm enjoying a top loader.I attached a Herbie's Back Hole to the puck and it sounds great. 
Which integrated amplifier .
Sorry to hear about your battle. Can not offer an amp suggestion since I haven't used a prime integrated since the 70's (but still use that one with mix tape cassettes.)I do recommend that you leave her instructions (and links) in writing whatever... 
During this isolation, I would be interested in suggestions of great movies you like.
