Has anyone actually compared those scenarios? Roon core straight to DAC vs Roon via streamer?

Serge, I'm only a Roon newbie.
But as far as I understand, you need a Roon endpoint also.
A core can't directly stream to a DAC.
Of course there are Roon cores that are renderers also, like my streamer (which also upsamples and reclocks everything).
