Can I connect Roon Nucleus directly to DAC, thus avoiding a streamer?

But you aren’t sending audio over ethernet. You are sending an error corrected reliable protocol over it. That protocol then has audio encapsulated in it. This is the point of digital streams. They aren’t subject to the errors of the analog domain.

The beauty of digital streams is that you truly can and should ignore what they sit upon.
