Driving me nuts

[Greg (Greg Stratton)]

If you check this thread, Peter from Lumin explains why you see OFS, instead of MQA.

Was Displaying MQA but Now it's Showing ORFS

If you set the Lumin D2 to “Decoder + Renderer”, Roon will send the raw MQA (if no DSP / volume leveling / grouped zones) to Lumin, this way Lumin will display MQA, perform both MQA Core decoding and MQA Rendering. If you set the Lumin D2 to “Renderer Only”, Roon will do the MQA Core decoding, send the MQA Core signal to Lumin, this way Lumin will display OFS and perform MQA Rendering. Both are normal and comply with the latest requirements from MQA Ltd. and Roon signal path display. Both are…

Essentially, it’s because in Roon, Audiolab Device Setup, you have the MQA Capabilities set to allow Roon to do the initial decoding and then letting the Audiolab do the Rendering (ie Render Only).

You need to set the Audiolab MQA setting as Decoder and Renderer.
