Roon Nucleus EQ


Hi, I was wondering if the Roon Nucleus’s DSP EQ capability’s could supplant the OEM EQ bass booster of my Thiel 3.5’s? Does the eq of the Nucleus work while other sources are in use through the shared DAC: an Oppo 205?
As always; thanks in advance.

Data from the Oppo goes only to a DAC, or to the stere, not to Roon.

You can use the Oppo remote as a controller for music, but you cannot rip from Oppo to anywhere, nor can you play music from the Oppo to Roon.
Hi, Unsound. :)

Any EQ applied via Roon is additive to any other EQ and filters in the chain.

If all your music was through Roon you could replace the Thiel EQ box with a Roon filter if you knew the proper parameters.

Roon is a little unusual in that it does all the DSP processing in the server, not the end point, so yes, any Roon-ready device should be able to take advantage of the DSP capabilities inside Roon if they are capable of the playback rate/type.

For instance, not all devices may support DSD, or more than 96 kHz, but if they are Roon-ready, then Roon can transcode up to their capabilities.

Best,
