You can’t. Arc doesn’t do hires to inbuilt DACs. MQA works as the files start as 44.1/24 then are decoded by the dac to 88.2/24. Or if 48/24 they decode to 96/24 MQA isn’t contained in a hires container file that’s its point. The DAC decoding is a separate path the DAP is doing on its own as it still sees the MQA data being present so will decode it to 96/24 or 88.2/24. Send a native 96/24 Roon will resample it down. This is standard for Roon Android apps due to their architecture.
