I don’t think anyone’s going to be able to offer any useful suggestions without a fair bit more information… system setup, network, file formats being played, DSP, zone hardware etc.
Playing Albums with the same Genre in different Zones won’t mess things up.
The problem will be associated with the iMac settings. Can you describe your system setup with details of the iMac zone and any devices connected to it.
It would also be helpful if you could post screenshots of the Roon Settings for the iMac zone and the Audio Midi settings on the iMac.
Where do I find the Audio Midi setting on my iMAC…I thought that was a Windows deal…my “sound” info only talks about the HEADPHONE out put and that where my speakers are connected.
I hope to be getting a Schiit Bimby this weekend that I will use for my Office iMAC…Ill send mutilple screen shots…
The Device Setting is Zone specific. The screenshot above I assume is your iMac headphone out Zone. So, set Exclusive Mode on that device (zone). You can use any remote to make this change (iPhones, iMac, Mac Mini, etc.).
Actually, with any device, if you are offered Exclusive Mode, I usually select the option.
Well No one ever got back to me about the distortion…so I went out and got a Schiit Bimby to go between my iMac and my AudioEngine 5+'s and all is good!
All I need now is to get a Jontunheim to finish off the office rig! I’m loving Roon more every day.
Now I’m thinking of getting a fresh SSD and sending it in to get that Euphoney-Audio’s OS for my Mac mini that really dedicates that machine to pure Music only while also turning the Mac mini into a Official Roon Server I think…
