I have a Roon core on a 2017 MacBook Pro, music on a NAS, and Lumin T2 as the streamer. The Lumin is connected via Ethernet to the network on which are the Mac and NAS.
My question: the Lumin can handle up to DSD512 natively. So if I’m playing a DSD256 file is the entire signal chain being handled natively in DSD256? I mean is there any step where it’s packaged into DoP and then unpacked, or if the Roon on the Mac is converting it to something else etc.
Thank you. Please, I don’t care about the benefits or disadvantages. I’m just curious whether there’s any extra processing going on.
