I’m new to Roon (4 weeks).
Kit is Roon Rock on Nuc
Gustard R26 Dac
When I paly music from tidal. It always seems to say the Source is 44.1 kHz 16 bit 2 ch. Even though the music playing is a higher format. This happens on USB and ethernet connection. Is this correct or have I set something up incorrectly? See pics below.
Regarding the first screenshot: Most likely the album is mislabeled by Roon, because the Hi-Res-Flac feature is still very new. The Signal Path should show the correct Information.
Regarding the second screenshot: Probably your DAC has no MQA hardware, so you can’t get the full resolution.
Are you sure it’s playing the 192/24 verison? There are multiple versions available as it has a versions tab. Click in there and you may well see the 44.1 version your playing. As it doesn’t look to be playing that version. Did you start playback from that page or elsewhere.
For MQA set MQA abilities in Roon to Decoder and Renderer for you dac.
