When you say DSD albums do you mean SACDs?
You can connect a USB stick or Portable USB Drive to the USB input and play your DSD files.
I don't know anything about ROON, not my thing.
How to get DSD working in a networked (Roon) setup?
Dear,
I recently received a few DSD albums and would love to play these.
In the manual of the T+A MP 3100 HV, I read
"The MP 3100 HV can be used as a high-quality D/A converter for other devices such as computers, streamer, digital radios etc. which are fitted with poor-quality converters or no converter at all. The MP 3100 HV features two optical and two electrical S/P-DIF digital inputs on the back panel to allow this usage.
A USB-DAC input on the back panel permits to use the MP 3100 HV as D/A
converter for computers.
At the USB DAC IN input the MP 3100 HV accepts digital PCM-encoded stereo
signals with sampling rates of 44.1 to 384 kHz (32-bit) and DSD data with
sampling rates of DSD64, DSD128, DSD256* and DSD512*."
To use the T+A MP 3100 HV to play DSD files, I have to connect it to a PC using a USB cable? Is my understanding correct?
I have all my music on a NAS in the basement. I use Roon to play (flac) files on my stereo. Is there no other way to get DSD to play?
Ideally, I would prefer to add a device in my network to play DSD.
This "USB DAC" truly puzzles me.
Thank you for your advice.

@koenvingerhoets There must be an issue with the way you've downloaded the file onto the USB stick. I assume you downloaded it from a DSD website. It could be that your file tags are in a different order that unit cannot read. However you are correct, you have a SACD player so it cannot output DSD beyond the unit due to SACD licensing. |
Have you tried the front and back USB sockets with files in WAV or FLAC? If they don't work format a USB drive in FAT not exFAT or NTFS. Also there maybe a restriction on the size of USB drive, so use a small one. If you can play files in FLAC and WAV try a DSD 64 file and see if that works. Your machine should definitely play native DSD. |
