Ayre QX-5 and Roon - DSD Playback [Update - The issue was identified by Ayre and they will be addressing it accordingly]

The QX-5 and NUC are not plugged into the apple router so I do not see how this would cause any issues. They are plugged into the Netgear switch so the flow of traffic should only occur between the QX-5 and NUC through the Netgear switch.

So why don’t you try to disconnect switch ( with both devices attached to it) from the rest of the netwrok and see if the issue still occures.
