Hi, Why roon downsampling from 384KHz to 176KHz on a McIntosh DS200, If DS200 supports: DXD352.8kHz, DXD384kHz, DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512? MUSE disabled here is signal path [2025-08-19_091252]

Hello @Roman_Sht The reason lies in the “families” of sample rates. In digital audio, all sample rates come from two basic families: 44.1 kHz family: 44.1 → 88.2 → 176.4 → 352.8 → 705.6 … 48 kHz family: 48 → 96 → 192 → 384 → 768 … Each family is a multiple of its base frequency ( 44.1 or 48 ). Y…

Thanx for the answer! Unfortunately McIntosh doesn’t answer for requests… Maybe you can get through to them. The “supported_formats” is JSON-string. Is it possible to edit this line on the roon server side? While we waiting actions from McIntosh

[image] Roman_Sht: I see about different inputs and different sample rates, but what about Roon? Just because a device accepts a specific format over USB doesn’t guarantee that it accepts the same format over a different input, in this case the network.

Hi @Roman_Sht , We’ll certainly pass along this information to our partners team who work with McIntosh directly. Are you able to test things out over USB in the meantime?

Hello @Roman_Sht We’ve reviewed the current behavior and confirmed that Roon Ready streaming to your device supports up to PCM 24/192. From our side, we can guarantee stable playback within these officially supported formats: PCM sample rates: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz, 192 kH…

Hello @Alicja_Lach Thank you for the update. [image] Alicja_Lach: I skimmed through this Community on this issue and I don’t want to be pushy or offend, but I’ve noticed that rather often Roon doesn’t “see” what device is actually capable of. We do not rely solely on what Roon detects regar…

[image] MusicD: Only via a USB it appears Yeah, just few minutes ago stopped selling my old aurender! After getting answers for here

If it supports 192Khz, why 384Khz downsampling to 176Khz, not 192?
