Greater transparency when Roon downsamples for device compatibility

[WiWavelength (Andrew J Shepherd)]

@maddib

So, parity is limited to network connections here. The rest is rather ambiguous.
Hhmmm… so, following this “definition”, their shall be no roon Ready device that accepts multichannel audio through a network connection like e.g. DLNA/UPnP but doesn’t via RAAT?
Might be true.

@Suedkiez

I would have read it the same way. I’m not at all an expert on multichannel but from reading the forum I can’t remember an example that would contradict this.

At the very least, long defunct Oppo UDP 4K players support DLNA/UPnP multichannel but RAAT two channel.

This has been discussed previously.

Can I play 5.1 wirelessly to my Oppo 203 with Roon?

I am enjoying being able to play my stereo AND 5.1 library wirelessly to my Oppo 203 from my laptop using JRiver Media Center. Why is this not possible with Roon, especially since Qobuz is starting to put out some 5.1 music.
