Hi all is working perfect, just a question. Using Roon with my Kef LSX via AirPlay I have bit perfect. However, if I use Roon via AirPlay 2 on my Marantz cinema 30 I don't have bit perfect. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal?
Roon Server on NAS Synology - Roon on iPhone - Marantz Cinema 30
This is normal. AirPlay won’t play bit-perfect. Don’t worry, enjoy the music
Jeroen is correct. You won’t be getting bit perfect out of AirPlay. I believe the same is true for Chromecast.
Bit perfect is if I am not mistaken only possible with a Roon Ready endpoint without using DSP.
But I wouldn’t worry about it. Like Jeroen said. Just enjoy the music.
As others said, “high quality” (green) is normal for AirPlay.
However, if the KEF are really using (are they?) AirPlay, too, why does it show bit perfect for them? I don’t see the AirPlay indicator in the KEF example of the Signal Path, though, so what is it using? Looks like a “KEF zone” to me:
Your not using Airplay on the Kefs your using KEF streaming , Airplay isn’t considered lossless in Roon as some endpoints such as Apple TV resample without you knowing and also it doesn’t sync to the clock of the ongoing DAC l. Airplay as a protocol often resamples on the sender to reclock and match to the clock of the endpoint.
ok, so if I bought a Roon Ready streamer (such as Wiim Pro) and placed it before the Marantz and its DAC, would I have bit perfect?
Yes. If your Roon Server machine has HDMI audio out, you could also use this
Use RHEOS extension if you have a NAS or a raspberry pi. It enables you to not use Airplay for HEOS gear. It’s what I use.

Do you by any chance have a link with instructions to install Rehos on Synology NAS?
If look in Tinkering section you will see the thread dedicated to it and @peter_richardson will be happy to help as he is the creator of it.
