DSP Volume turns Signal Path Green

[Tuckers (John H)]

When I use Headroom Adjustment or Volume Limiting etc the signal path stays white. But DSP Volume turns it green, or High-Quality. I thought that the DSP Volume was using the same part of the DSP engine, and therefore is the same quality???

Hi @Tuckers, white is not an official signal path colour AFAIK. This knowledge base page may answer your questions: https://kb.roonlabs.com/Signal_Path

Ok, I think I see now, I didn’t realize that the DSP volume is After the signal leaves the Roon. That makes sense. Yeah I definitely don’t want the Rasberry Pi to handle digital volume!
