I was wondering about optimization options for my current streaming setup. The setup is as follows:
Given the setup above, do you see any room for improvement? Cost should not be the driving factor rather:
- FLAC files stored on NAS connected to gbit Switch via Ethernet cable
- Intel NUC connected to Gbit Switch running Roon headless
- Roon headless configured to use Exclusive Mode and Volume Control disabled
- Audioquest Cinnamon USB Cable connecting NUC with Devialet D200
- Nexus 9 Tablet running Roon Remote
- Tidal Hifi Subscription
Can be done to further improve SQ and maybe even usability.

Isolating the Nuc from the Dev will most likely help according to a lot of people that have gone down the network audio adapter (NAA) route. Since you use Roon, a SonicOrbiter off the shelf, or better yet and wait and see what DIY solutions Roon bring out (due very soon).
