Description Of Issue

I just want to know, regarding MQA with this device (Node 2i), should I set up the device in Roon as a “Renderer Only”, “Decoder Only”, or “Decoder and Renderer”. Does it even matter?

I searched the forums and could not find an answer. If this is a repeated question, sorry. I tried.

Hi @Doug_Hannah,

We have an article in our KB that describes the various MQA settings. By default Roon will try to choose the best setting for the device. The Node 2 is an MQA decoder and renderer, so that should be the best option for you.

Hi Dylan

Selecting “Load Defaults” for my Bluesound Node 2 selects renderer only.

Mike.
