Direct link between roon and DAC

Hi, can I directly connect a dac to a computer with roon core loaded and it will be recognized. Is this a better option instead of volumio s roon bridje to dac in terms of audio quality?

You can certainly connect a DAC via USB to a computer running Roon. Would it be better quality? That is up for you to decide by listening.

I personally don’t have a DAC connected directly to a computer in my main listening area. My server stays out of the listening room and I have an endpoint that takes an ethernet in and provides a USB out.
