Multichannel with Roon

Roon Software Discussion

I wrote this up some time ago A quick how to HDMI multi-ch w/Linux (yes, Pi too)

Basically… you need an endpoint which has an interface that supports MC into the Anthem. RAAT supports MC without issue across the network but then it can get complicated.

  1. Where are you downsampling the MC to 2-channel? What’s the source? I have some MC stuff I let Roon downmix to 2 channel and it sounds ok.
  2. You need to feed it multichannel in a format it can understand and a Raspberry PI or Windows machine with Roon bridge can do this via HDMI but its not as straight forward as 2 channel.
