Native DSD support for Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M

[Rugby (aka Daniel or Big Dan)]

Hello Chris,

You might review the two threads below with similar issues. The issue is your DAC used with a Linux OS.

Native DSD on Cambrige Audio Dacmagic 200m not working

It is not a given that a device will support native DSD on Linux. Each Linux kernel needs to be patched for the specific device, if it can. On other threads, it was specified that the 200m was NOT in any of the Linux kernel patches. DoP is the same as native DSD, just not at the full resolution. You should contact Sonore and see if they can add the device to their kernel running on the Rendu. Alternately, If you want DSD512, then you will probably need to setup a Windows machine, run roonbr…

Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M native DSD added to Ropieee?

As mentioned, DoP is native but the encapsulation lowers the available resolution. So, if your DAC can do 512 native then DoP will limit it to 256.

If you want to get to that 512 resolution with that DAC, then you will need to be running Windows and the DAC Magic driver. You can do that two ways, replace ROCK on that NUC with Windows, or, get a small PC to setup as a network endpoint that is running RoonBridge and the Windows Drivers.
