Well a lot happened over the years and we are now with Roon 2.0 and an improved DSP & upsampling.
So what are your current preferences / recommendations ?

I periodically try Roon upsampling, with various settings, both with Devialet and the RME DAC. So far, I have not noticed that Roon upsampling brings any notable improvement. Probably both DACs do their job very well (in fact, this is one of the situations where RoonLabs says that using upsampling is pointless).

Do you have a link / URL where Roon is saying that? As experienced by others this normally is quite specific to the DAC and it’s settings / architecture.

Ya if there is no audible difference I will let DSP off in Roon and let the Devialet do it all.
But it just that some of my friends who have a really good setup with Devialet said that when doing upsampling in Roon to 192/24 it somehow sounded better.
Seems I have to try on my own.
