My config has been working quite happily upsampling to DSD512 in Roon until yesterday when Roon decided to install a software upgrade. Now DSD512 conversion stutters but DSD256 is fine. I cannot tell if the hardware is busy re-indexing etc. but I am now tempted to reinstall Rock and rollback. Should I be seeing this with every Roon software upgrade or should it work seamlessly? Previous build was 258.
Here is my current signal path which I think should be fine @ 2.1:
Thanks for taking the time to share your report, and I’m sorry you’re running into playback issues with your DSD512 files.
If possible, could you please reproduce the issue, and share the name of the track you’ve played? With that, we’ll want to review a set of Roon Server logs from your machine, if you could use the directions found here and send over a set of logs to our File Uploader, that would be helpful!
I have uploaded the Roon and RAAT server log files. The issue occurs on every track that I try to upsample to DSD512. There was no problem until the new software update completed installation.
Makes no difference if I switch it on. Switching back to DSD256 clears the stuttering. The NUC I am using should comfortably upsample to DSD512 and it did that before the update.
I am tempted now to re-install Roon with the package I originally downloaded and check that works. And then block any future updates if that is possible.
You can set your server and any client to “Ask before downloading any updates”, to which you would then reply NO when the reminder pops up each time you open the system.
I have reverted back to Roon OS build 258 version 2.0 build 1234. It now won’t let me connect without applying the software update which gets me back to square one - a broken version of Roon. How can I get to Roon admin without applying the software update? Looks like Roon won’t allow downgrading and will insist that the update is applied even though the update is breaking my configuration.
My endpoint has Roon turned off and it has made no difference. Roon insists that the software update must be applied before I can connect to the server.
EQ is off at the streamer end. I have turned off Roon at the streamer end anyway. No difference. I cannot connect using the client without applying the latest update. I have also done a database and settings reset at the home page but that should not make any difference with a clean install.
Yes it does as all your remotes will be on the latest version. You would need to have the older installer for the previous version of Roon. There is no roll back facility for Roon software. So if you installed an older version of ROCK installer it will need to update to connect to the Roon app as that will be a later version. You would need an older installer for Roon app on your devices which you can’t get once an update has gone live.
I decided to use Roon because it was possible to up-sample. And now it doesn’t work. Unless there’s a quick fix I won’t be renewing my license. It also suggests to me that they rely on the users for testing but in this case there is no safety net and no way back when an undocumented feature appears.
I have now re-applied the update. But now it is asking me to login again. When I do this it then says that I am already logged in and I need to activate and pay for another subscription??? How do I login again??? Do I need to un-authorise?
