Yes, music is playing and the DAC display shows MQA 352k.
Correct. When you select your S2 DAC Roon zone, donāt bother worrying at all with Audio MIDI.
You can play with Audio MIDI if you want general macOS sound (like Youtube etc) to play to your S2 DAC, but forget about it when playing Roon.
As above, donāt worry about Audio MIDI during Roon āExclusive Modeā playback.
āMQAā displayed on your DACās display is confirmation that playback is bit perfect.
Stress less, everything is blessed.

There is a minor bug with the S2 DAC with MQA playback - this is not limited to just Roon, itās the DAC itself.
In āMQA decodeā mode you might get some stuttering with MQA.
This bug completely disappears when you select āRendering onlyā in Roonās MQA settings.
Then you will see āMQBā on the DACās display.
You can leave it as is right now if you like. If you get the stuttering, then do the above and you wonāt have any issues. In āMQBā mode, Roon does the 1st MQA unfold and then the S2 DAC will do āthe restā.
Duly noted. Thank you!

Thank you for asking this question and thanks to all who answered.
As a Mac user it has been bugging me for quite awhile. Even more after acquiring the S2 Dac. I trusted the Roon signal chain report but watching the MIDI flip back and forth puzzled me.
Gonna enjoy a holiday weekend of Roon, Tidal, and MQA!
