Apple Dongle DAC what is Roon adjusting the sample rate

Roon Software Discussion Apple iPad and iPhone

Hey here’s another stupid question from me about the funny green circle contained within Roon, so basically I tried to use the apple dongle dac and it kept resampling audio from 44.1khz to 48khz. I have seen that another individual has asked this question in the past and some guy just came and said “Oh the dac just does that” but I feel like that can’t be the answer

Btw this isn’t just with Roon arc the reason I can only send the Roon arc evidence is because Roon is having a seizure rn

It does depend on the DAC. If the DAC only accepts 48 (and I think this is the case for the Apple dongle) then Roon can’t do anything else.

I have a FiiO DAC with USB attached to the iPhone, which can accept other sample rates, too. This is recognized automatically by iOS and Roon then sends the proper rate automatically.
