PS Audio Directstream Junior Owner - Still beneficial to buy a separate server/streamer?

Hi All,

As I think about the next upgrade in my system path, I was looking into getting a server/streamer but was unsure if that would be a worthwhile benefit. I have the DSJ that I use as a Roon endpoint (my PC, located in another room, is my Roon Core).

I stream approximately 60% of my content while the other 40% is from files local to my Roon Core. Would an Innuos Zenith MkII, Roon Nucleus, or Bluesound Vault 2 be an upgrade on sound quality in my setup?

@rbstehno i am discovering similar thing that you have and have been on sort of same path. Do you have any DSD files you stream via Roon to your DSD/BridgeII?
Thanks

@rbstehno did you / do you experience any low level ticks/pops when streaming DSD from Roon to Bridge II? 
I do. It's very subtle but DEF there.
Snowmass version: 3.0.5
Bridge version: 3.6.17

Roon Core PC --> Netgear Gige unmanaged switch --> 30 feet cat 6 --> bridge II.

Please list your networking config if you have time.
Thanks
