Luxman DA-06 Converts DSD to PCM [Resolved]

[JWC (Jim)]

I don’t think volume leveling in the DSD domain is currently possible in Roon. See here and the rest of the linked thread:

Roon's 64 bit floating point volume leveling

Not currently…there is a horsepower vs user experience problem. We insist on putting volume control in the endpoint to minimize lag/latency when changing volume. Doing a DSD soft volume control would consume a lot of resources. Many endpoints in our ecosystem are not powerful enough to perform the adjustment. It would also be distasteful to have a signal path that re-modulates the DSD twice–once to process it in the core, and again to process it in the endpoint later. So no, we don’t do it. T…
