Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!

One thing I can add is that I never listen to vanilla Roon. In every case, there are things that can be done with the DSP to make the sound better (to my ears) including application of convolution filters for specific headphone models, room correction, correction for listening position, and various parametic EQ tweaks to make things sound just right to me (and clearly different from default "flat" DSP) in each case. I use Roon in 6 rooms, on 3 systems, and with 4 different models of headphones. Each of these sound way different without Roon DSP. Now they all sound a lot more similar and "better" to my ears. I target a flat response initially then tweak to personal preference from there. In the case of my good sounding yet highly compromised (on the grand scale of things) desktop system I also invert phase.

...if you have DSD files in your Roon library, they will be downsampled for the Aurender.if you have DSD files in your Roon library, they will be downsampled for the Aurender.

I have a couple DSD256 recordings downloaded. Roon settings limit to DSD128. When I played those DSD256 files via Roon on the Aurender N30SA, my DAC’s display showed DSD256. I don’t know what was happening there, but I assume the DAC was displaying the file it was receiving. Why the discrepancy, I have no idea.

@tvad I streamed DSD and on the N200 display it showed as 32/352.8khz

I guess with the N200 implementation they limited streamed bitrate to above whereas on the N30S it’s a straight shot despite the settings that appear to limit it to DSD128. could just be a bug.
DSD isn’t even in a dropdown for the device settings in roon for N200.

Here’s a screenshot of Roon device set-up for the N30SA. DSD512 available.

This recording is presently playing at DSD256 on my DAC (maximum supported DSD rate).

That’s a cool album @tvad !

Thanks for sharing the settings!
