Hello Karl - I joined when our three were also becoming self-sufficient (hint: that never actually happens, but all good).
Many great options these days - lots of knowledgeable people here.
I try to keep the computing/communication separate from the DAC, but opinions vary.
I am not familiar with your DAC, but for a little money you can attach a 'renderer' or 'network bridge' * in front of it. Many options.
In my case, I put a SOtM Neo in front of the Chord DAC. Roon now 'sees' the Chord DAC as an endpoint and adjusts accordingly. Low cost and painless.
Computers and software are constantly changing; DACs tend to be more mature.
My 2 cents.
*same thing
