Nucleus, is there a better alternative?

My system uses a Lumin x1 which includes a dac and streamer, so I don't need a box with a streamer and a dac.

Concern is that the nucleus which hosts roon, which I use, might be introducing noise into system. I like the way it sounds but could I do better?

Maybe I need to consider an optical connection vs a Straight ethernet connection between the nucleus and the X1.

Curious about any ideas

We continue to have opticalRendus in stock. The opticalRendu is undergoing a redesign which we do not yet have a delivery date for. The new opticalModule Deluxe is in production. Once we have a firm ship date, will will let everyone know.

It makes no sense at all. I have huge amps and some with tubes and they don't run nearly as hot as this thing does. It seems rather dangerous to have a specifications let's say it's acceptable for it to reach 130°. Just seems crazy to me

Anyway good to know they're in stock and OpticalModule now in production, looking forward to hearing OM (already have OR) in my system.
