Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS


I’m considering a Roon Nucleus+ for streaming to dCS DACs. DCS says networked streaming is superior to USB on their DACs. As such, the easiest way to get content from local is a Roon Core. Is there any sonic advantage to something more expensive? The Nucleus will not be co-located with the audio rack - but will run on Ethernet and there will be no Wifi in the path. It seems like for networked listening, as long as the device can serve up the file quickly, there shouldn’t be a sonic advantage to other devices, but would certainly welcome information to the contrary.

I don’t have the mighty DCS DAC but I cant tell w redbook .wav files off my NAS 60’ of ethernet cable to NAIM. I would be interested in your opinion of the ROOn product if you go that way, I am considering it as well as small green computer.
I should add that I have ROON core running off a laptop right by the NAS.

I have the Nucleus+ driving a Meridian Ultra Dac--sort of in the same league as the DCS.  I am very happy with the Nucleus+ SQ.  There are DIY solutions if that floats your boat.  For me, I work on my computer 15 hours a day, so I chose the Nucleus+ so that I would have a separate system.  
I run a Nuceus+ and Roon thru a Meridian Ultra Dac.  Very happy with the result.  I have no vinyl and only ripped cd's.

Are you considering multiple dCS DACs?

Your thoughts / thinking on the question you ask, since you've been following this area for some time now?

there will be no Wifi in the path
Why / Reasons for not introducing WiFi?
Bartok and Rossini. No reason to use WiFi. House is wired and WiFi will always be inconsistent due to interference and overlapping zones. (Running a Unifi setup)
