No. Some search results: > [@Need advice: streamer+DAC, minimal box count](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/need-advice-streamer-dac-minimal-box-count/104843/37): > > I have a Blue Sound Node 2 hooked up to my integrated DAC amp Atoll IN 300 and use it with Roon and Qobuz. Works fine but unable to stream over 96kHz despite what the specs indicate. I haven’t tested the sound from the Node 2 analog variable output but, although not up to the best DAC’s, I have read that it does a decent job. Good choice at this price point in my opinion. > [@Question on U1 and U1 Mini](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/question-on-u1-and-u1-mini/96203/14): > > A question for you, I found when playing Hi-Res files that when the volume of my dac/preamp is low I hear a lot of noise to even distortion, now I have been able to solve this by setting the Simple Rate Conversion to Enable in Roon, I find this strange. Is it disadvantageous to have the Lumin U1mine connected to the dac/preamp with both AES/ EBU and USB or should I not do this? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/lumin-u1-mini-and-roon-mqa-capabilities-settings-not-sounding-as-good-as-lumin-app/136049)._
