Audio Devices (Specify what device you’re using and its connection type - USB/HDMI/etc.)
Denon AVR-X8500H, HDMI0 - listed to play flac files up to 192KHz. DSD (2.8 and 5.6MHz).
Description Of Issue
Attempt to play DSD 5.1 file from NUC/Rock to the Denon receiver using HDMI0.
I’ve read on this site about DSD options noted to be available in Device Setup and DSP. The options are not listed in my setup configuration.
Device Setup - no option for Exclusive Mode, DSD Playback Strategy does not list Native DSD.
DSP does not have an option to enable Native DSD.
Not overly concerned with not being able to play Native DSD, just a question of why the options are not listed in my configuration.
Roon queries the Device and asks what formats and resolutions it can handle. Depending upon the response, Roon will only display options which are appropriate for that device.
Daniel. That is what I expected, wanted to know for sure. Roon can’t identify the device over the HDMI0 connection without Denon being in the supported device list. Thanks for the response.
Thanks Kal, I have initiated several searches but I was keying on the Native DSD option trying to find out why it wasn’t listed in my setup like it was in others. The response was as I suspected, Roon could not query the receiver to find out what it does handle. Denon is not in the device list. I did followup with your recommendation to search for DSD over HDMI.
