They let you do what you want.
Unfortunately the Nucleus only has one ethernet port like my Antipodes DS. Roon needs an internet connection so you need to connect that port your LAN which is what connection to your switch does, and that means you can't connect it directly to the Devialet because the Devialet doesn't provide an internet connection to any device connected to it via ethernet. That means you, and I with my Antipodes DS, are stuck with having to connect both our server and our amp to a switch. We need something that allows Roon to connect to the internet and also to pass music to our amps and since we only have 1 ethernet port on our respective servers the only device I'm aware of that can function in that way is an ethernet switch.
How about using a USB to Ethernet adaptor like this one on the incoming side?

Roon Nucleus has only 1 Ethernet. And 2 USB 3.0
If I were to incorporate the USB-to-ETH converter, I would use it on the Roon Nucleus's USB and connect the Router to this. That would leave me the main Ethernet to feed the Devialet.
Will this work ?
I think we're threading into Roon forum territory now. I wouldn't be surprised the question is already answered there.
