RAAT vs Upnp

[borisy]

I just updated to 1.12.3
Out of the box the Devialet are setup in Roon only as 'Renderer' and Roon down samples the output to 24/48kHz.

Whent into the advanced settings of the Speakers within Roon and switched the Phantoms to 'decoder and render' now no down sampling is apparent.

I don't have equipment to test what actually exits the Speaker

When the Phantom MQA capability is set to 'Renderer'
- Roon performs first unfold, I.e. 48kHz to 96kHz and MQA rendering information is retained
- Phantom down samples to 48kHz

When the Phantom MQA capability is set to 'Decoder and Renderer'
- Roon performs no re-sampling, I.e. the 48kHz audio is passed to Phantom
- Phantom performs no re-sampling

Phantom has no MQA capability and to avoid confusion, should perhaps be set to 'No MQA support'.
- Roon performs first unfold, but importantly does not retain any MQA rendering information
- Phantom down samples to 48kHz

For more information check out the Roon KB

Set to Renderer and turn off the enable MQA core decoder under advanced setting. It won't downsample to 48khz
