Ah, got it.
Something to think about is to use a good linear power supply with your Roon Nucleus. If it comes with a Switch-Mode Power Supply (SMPS), it's less than ideal to connect an SMPS powered device to an endpoint/DAC with a USB cable. SMPS are bad at sending high-source impedance leakage current which causes noise on the ground plane and threshold jitter. One of the big advantages of using optical is that will not pass this leakage current.
