Thanks for Links above. The ROCK is it called as Nucleus? it says Nucleus for $1200 & Nucleus+ for $2000
IMHO - Thats expensive. I would still pick up NUC + a good 1/2TB SSD on board so ROON need not get into ETH -> seek out NAS (probably spinning) and then fetch -> back to NUC -> streaming through USB/ETH (for Devialet AIR) -> to respective devices. Onboard SSD matters if AIR needs to be used without glitch/cracks etc.
FYI - NUC (6th gen SYH) + 1TB SSD = ~$550
