Thanks for the note. Agree with you on Eitr’s performance and looking forward to getting it working optimally with Roon.
To that end, do you mind me asking what you running Roon on?
My issues have been with a direct USB connection to a Mac mini core. When Eitr is connected to a Raspberry Pi (DietPi) Roon Bridge endpoint it works fine up to redbook quality (which is a different issue I’m hoping to solve with an Odroid-C2).
Others have reported something similar. Here is a link to their findings: https://community.roonlabs.com/t/schiit-yggdrasil-gen-5-using-exclusive-mode/28751 (@moderators if this thread should be combined with that one, please move it there. Thank you!)
I dropped a notification for @support there (and now here). They’re the best…
