Hello
First timer here…
I’m using a Mac Mini as a Roon core. I’ve recently turned into a server - all I want it to be is be a Roon Core. The core is right next to my Directstream DAC - I want to go into the DAC using the USB connection. I have physically plugged it in and the Mac does recognise the DAC but, the only way to get sound out is to have the volume on 100 and it sounds rubbish. I’ve probably not ticked something? What are the best settings within Roon please to get the most out this setup?
Many thanks
Chris. 
Hello @Christopher_Barber — Welcome and thanks for reaching out!
Getting started, I’m hoping you can do the following:
- Provide a screenshot of Device Setup for this Zone
- Provide a screenshot of the Signal Path when playing to this Zone
- Do you experience any issues with any other endpoints, like System Output?
Also, here’s a quick article for getting Roon to connect with your DAC. Make sure your DAC shows up under
settings>audioand that it’s enabled as outlined in the article.
Good morning Nuwriy
Thank you so much for your reply. I’m sorry it’s taken so long for me to reply.
I have no other issues with other end points.
Photos attached.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Chris.
