Roon usb dac I’m trying to figure out why it is not working. I am now considering Hey community I’m keen to try building a Rasberry Pi4 as a USB Roon Bridge to my CXA61 DAC/Amp. I can connect to it wirelessly The DAC volume itself stays locked at -00. If “synchronous” is selected, the DAC surrenders its clock to the upstream devices and synchronizes itself to the source clock. I have this same problem also from TIDAL. You should be able to switch it into USB Audio 2. ! ! All you need is an external capable USB DAC (I used Topping DX3Pro desktop DAC for testing) hook up to the android phone and you are really go. I tried plugging my DAC into the USB port on the back of my QNAP NAS (Roon core) and it worked but I was always disappointed with the quality. But when I installed the Raspberry Pi Roon endpoint, I noticed that the drops stopped. I’ve just acquired two new pieces of equipment: an S. My device is able to output Native dsd256, pcm384. I am curious about one thing, though. Now when I run TIDAL thru a MAC MINI I don’t have this issue. Congratulations! Small differences in noise shaper design are most noticeable on discrete DSD DACs like the HOLO Spring, T+A DAC-8 DSD, DSC-1 since these DACs perform no further processing of the signal in the digital domain. @dabassgoesboomboom @jussi_laako Hi guys and all others. When we compare clock relevancy here, we are comparing apples to apples against other network protocols–many of which make the computer’s clock an inherent part of the audio chain in a way that RAAT avoids. Yes the S88 streams 8 channels over the LAN, also via USB but What is value in adding a streamer to a Roon Nucleus. 7 Build 610 Music Library on USB External HDD, 50K The Roon seems to be streaming very well from 3rd floor Roon to 1st floor Apple Home Play and phone throughout house, and now consistently recognizes the Apple HomePlay and my phone and google mini, but doesn’t see the DAC that is directly connected via USB cable (which is the main reason I wanted the Roon). Hey guys @Roon, good job!
