You still need a Roon core which is on your Nucleus. The Nucleus can be anywhere in your house as long as it is connected to your LAN. I'll explain how I would do it, there are other ways but to me this is pretty simple. I would place the Nucleus ...

Here is an older paper I found  that explains the DF relationship between amp and speaker. It was a little easier for me to understand some of the numbers. https://butleraudio.com/damping2.php 
McIntosh Roon Tested, what does it mean?
devise can not be a Roon endpoint unless it is either Roon tested or Roon Ready.It may be better to stick with tested or ready devices but I have used a couple that were neither and they worked fine. I am using an integrated amp now as the roon en...

In the Benchmark paper it says most amplifier specs assume 8 Ohm whether that's true for Hegel and marantz I have no idea. What's interesting to me about the article is they are saying low DF of 10 or high as 10,000 is not an issue damping of driv... 
Ethernet Cables
Cat 6 is fine for streaming audio. Ethernet cables work or they don't. You will read all kinds of subjective opinions from night and day difference to none at all. If you're bored and want to try get 25 feet of expensive wire and compare just do t...

What amplifer are you talking about turnbrown? Some amps will have something like DF >400 at 20hz, I have seen some say DF > 300 20hz - 20khz @ 8Ohm. Use the Excel spreadsheet from Benchmark and input the numbers from your speakers. What Ben...

First you need roon core these other devices you're looking at are roon endpoints.

Just get any DAC you want that takes USB and connect to the Nucleus you don't need a network streamer. If you're planning on getting rid of the Nucleus then you would need one. If you want to move the Nucleus all you need is a roon bridge to conne...

Which wire has biggest impact?/
None of the above. 
Can a streamer without DAC improve streaming?
Are you using the DAC in the Node2i? If so run coax out and bypass the internal dac. 
if you remove 100% brick wall limiting from digital audio will it sound like vinyl
Why not try this and see if it can make digital sound like vinyl.http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/dynamic_processors/psp_mixsaturator2/
