Yes BUT you need to have Roon running on a device with 2 ethernet ports, one which you connect to your router for the internet connection Roon needs and the other which you connect to your Devialet. If you only have 1 ethernet put on the device running Roon then you need to use a switch.
There are some servers (Innuos, current Antipodes models) with 2 ethernet ports. I have no idea about whether any NUCs have 2 ports. The Roon Nucleus only has 1 port and my not discontinued Antipodes DS only has one. Overall I think devices with 2 ports are in the minority.
