If the streamer is capable we only need a good NAS, and Melco comes to my mind. But that means Roon is no lonnger an essential component in the playback system.
It's possible to transfer 100% of the data without ANY interference whatsoever. We do it by downloading music from the internet, copying etc. It must be easy to incorporate a little 1 Gb memory / buffer where that data gets copied to and then drawn from by the DAC, timing included. Interference 100% sorted.
The only thing that can stand in the way of SQ then can be the cable working as an antenna and introducing RF interference to other parts of the unit. A decently shielded cable should do the trick.
