Hey @Rusty_Miller I’m curious… Do you have any MQA and an MQA decoder? (or any other means of verifying bit-perfect output?) I’m currently listening to some MQA which is being passed to my Meridian 818 for decoding.
The 1.3 per-zone defaults are to have the DSP Engine enabled with all Filters in the DSP engine disabled. This is a bit-perfect configuration (I get MQA decoding in the 818).
If I enable the Headroom Management filter, I lose bit-perfect replay due to the -3dB of digital gain applied.
However, if I then set the Headroom Adjustment to 0dB, I get bit-perfect replay again.
