New Denafrips recklocker/converters: IRIS and GAIA

Interesting products, I'm looking to improve my streaming and have been looking at the following:

1. Reclocker
2. DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER
3. Dedicated streamer 

I currently use a Dell laptop which does the job but I suspect that it can be improved on. Will simply adding a reclocker get me to the same results as a quality dedicated streamer? The Digione is basically a stripped down computer and acts like a budget streamer. The Dell does the job but my CA CXC transport beats it, what's needed to get my streamer better than the CXC? My DAC is the Audio Mirror Tubadour SE so I do not need a streamer with a DAC.

Why don't you just connect your NUC running ROCK to your dac by USB?

Because the Nucleus can only  Simultaneously act as a server and endpoint using USB out which is the noisiest output and puts additional stress on it. The Gaia Cleans up the USB output. If you use I2s, SPDIF, or balanced, which are supposed to be better, then you need another box to act as a roon endpoint. 

Oh, OK just wondered I've used my NUC as the server and endpoint through USB and never had a noise problem nor did it stress the NUC, maybe the one I assembled isn't as noisy as the nucleus.

A lot of the guts of the IRIS are the same as the USB input of the Terminator, which then feeds the I2s circuitry inside the Terminator, so a question is how much this external device can improve the Terminator.  I'd like the best digital path but I dont want to do processing twice.
