- Qobuz albums with High Res format in My Library only available in CD format in new B416 installation.
- Resyncing (Sync Library Now) makes Qobuz albums loose High Res format and fall back to CD (44,1kHz/16-bit) format

I am using Roon B416 on my - AudioLinux based - Pinkfaun 2.16 streamer from the release date last year, without any issues.
I have installed a second Roon Server today on a Windows 10 Pro platform.
I restored a last night backup from my Pinkfaun streamer, and I got the platform up and running very smoothly.
However, by accident I noticed that a Qobuz album in My Library on the Windows10 platform, was now presented in 44,1kHz/16bit quality instead of 96kHz/24bit quality as on my PinkFaun streamer.
I started to investigate, using Focus-Format.
The result: In the Windows10 server, 32 ‘Qobuz’ albums in My Library have lost their HighRes format and felt back to CD (44,1kHz/16bit) format. (Full list at the end of this topic)
As an example, here is the David Bowie case:
His Main Album list on the Pinkfaun server looks like this
As you notice, all Qobuz Albums except one (Loving The Alien 1983-1989) have the 96/24 format.
On the New B416 installation (on the Windows platform), his Main Album list looks like:
6 albums have fallen back from 96/24 to CD (44,1/16) format.
I checked in the Qobuz app, and all 6 albums were still ‘liked’ in highres format .
As an example, I played ‘Heroes’ in the Qobuz app
As you can see the Heart is highlighted, and at the bottom of the screen, the album is playing in 96/24 format.
In Roon, the Highres format is NOT visible anymore, again as an example ‘Heroes’
In Roon on my Pinkfaun streamer it still looks like this:
Here is the list with 32 albums, which show this ‘defect’

To make things worse and even more complex
The described situation was current today till 17h CET.
I then was so stupid to execute ‘Sync Library Now’ in Settings - Qobuz on my PinkFaun streamer
(the one with all the ‘right’ highres albums.
And now SOME (but not all 32) albums, have fallen back from HighRes to CD format.
Example - new Main Albums page of David Bowie:
Both the Albums Low and Heroes have fallen back to CD format David Bowie Diamond Dogs (2016 Remastered Version) Still 96/24
David Bowie Young Americans (2016 Remastered Version) Still 96/24
David Bowie Station To Station (2016 Remastered Version) Still 96/24
David Bowie Low (2017 Remastered Version) CD
David Bowie “Heroes” (2017 Remastered Version) CD
David Bowie Lodger (2017 Remastered Version) Still 96/24
I have no clue what is going on here, but I really get quite nervous about this behaviour.
