I assume this is right I always struggle as well !!

I believe the Dragonfly Red can not decode MQA, see this post below.

Dragonfly Red, MQA and color readout

DragonFly is a MQA renderer instead of a MQA full decoder. It needs a MQA core decoder for MQA to be decoded. Roon does not yet provide MQA core decoding right now (unlike Tidal desktop app), but will do in a future update. So you need to wait. DragonFly color code is here: You may also read

Thus the zone properties in Roon should be set to “MQA Renderer Only” (which is how the OP has it).
