TBH, I don't see where an LPS or super-clean SMPS power supply would benefit a Roon Nucleus or a NUC (or Mac Mini) serving as a Roon Core. All its doing is running the Roon Core and pulling digital files and sending the biitstream them via Ethernet, Wifi or fiber to a streamer or network bridge. I think the most important and beneficial thing is to have the Nucleus, NUC or Mac Mini in another part of the house, and nowhere near the audio rack.
The Sonore "Rendus" Auralic, etc., don't function as the Roon core, they only function as an Roon "endpoint" in their role as the streamer/network bridge. Those DO benefit from a clean power supply. The Sonore SonicTransporter, OTOH, does function as a Roon Core server.
