Can a Sonos Arc Ultra w/ Era 300s work with Roon Nucleus and CA Evo 150?

Hullo,
I don't know if I'm the proverbial blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat, that isn't there, but here goes.

I've got a Sonos Arc Ultra with 2 Era 300s as surrounds and the sub. Yesterday, the Roon Nucleus I ordered arrived, and I'm about to set it up.
My question is about the Cambridge Audio Evo 150, which I've seen in my research and have developed a substantial lust for.

Before I succumb, I wanted to find out if it would be a sensible buy. Or should I hold off until I can get a non-Sonos system happening? The aggravation of using their App had been
driving me in this direction. But since discovering Roon, I'm thinking I can keep the Sonos system on for a bit until I can afford to substantially upgrade.

I'm thinking the Arc Ultra with the eArc connection to the TV stays as is, and the Nucleus and Evo should each go into the other HDMI ports on the TV. Would this be correct?
I'm in love with surround sound, so from what I've read, the Roon needs to be connected via HDMI into (I'm guessing) an Atmos-capable TV.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Cheers

Total waste driving anything through that Sonos system. They are total junk. If you want to use that roon system get a Big Boy system and do it properly.

This is a bit confusing...
One minute you are talking about plugging a media player into a Sonos, then the next you are talking about plugging a 3000 dollar amp (Evo) and this media player into a tv set, and then that combo out to the Sonos ?

I don't get it...go one way or the other.

Sorry for the confusion, I'll see if I can clarify. (and please remember - I'm a newbie in a section of the forum for newbies. "Don't be embarrassed to post here if you're just getting into home theater." it says at the top) So, please refrain from your self-emasculating comments TLS guy.

I've connected the Sonos Arc to the telly via the HDMI eArc as they should be.
I know that the Roon Nucleus is a wireless network player but I've read that if you plug it via HDMI into a Dolby Atmos capable device (not sure what you call them), that surround sound music can be played from them.

I've been reading about how good the Evo 150 is, so I'm wondering if my music will sound as good as it can over my Sonos system if I connect the Evo 150 via HDMI to the television. I don't know. Perhaps I don't need to do that, which is why I'm asking the question - because I don't know.

Please note that until this past week I've never heard of streaming amps such as the EVO 150 - or even the Roon Nucleus, so I'm still getting my head around what they are and how they work.
