I just got an RME ADI-2 FS DAC. While I am blown away by how incredble this is, and I am enjoying DSD256 for the first time ever (wow!), is there a way to automatically disable DSD upsampling when I play an MQA album from my library?
My understanding is that altering MQA to DSD defeats the point of MQA, even without a hardware DAC to complete the final unfold. It would be nice if there is a way to do this automatically as it would be a pain to have to manually disable DSD every time an MQA album comes on.
No, the DSP settings are for the zone. However, since the RME isn’t an MQA renderer it’s not an issue. If you prefer DSD simply turn off the Roon core decoder and take the 44.1 or 48kHz PCM. Or let Roon do the first unfold (decode) and then Roon will perform the sample conversion. Decide what you prefer.
