How can I get MQA 192K out of my MAC Mini?

The Aune X1S is a 32 bit/384 DSD DAC but Roon won’t let me select “native” because it doesn’t see a DSD DAC.

Do I need a USB converter and connect the AUNE X1S via Coax digital input?

From what I know apple does not do native dsd, only DoP. How do you connect to AUNE? USB? Check the settings before the DSP for the endpoint
Or for MQA; Maybe uncheck Roon Core processing of MQA and the right settings for AUNE (if it is render or decoder and render)
Sorry not much of a info but hope it helps until someone knows better and posts
