ND5 XS2 configuration defaults to MQA renderer

[AndyR (Andy)]

The default configuration in Roon appears to be ‘renderer only’; I’m pretty sure the ND5 XS2 doesn’t (and isn’t going to) support MQA in any way so it should default to ‘no mqa support’.

Is this the streamer incorrectly reporting it’s capabilities, or an error in the Roon Ready capability database?

You may wish to check device set-up with MQA

With update 1.7 I discovered that my Devialet 220 settings had changed: previously, under device set-up, I had ticked off “No MQA Support.” With the update, I discovered that setting had changed to “Renderer Only,” which is incorrect. I changed it back, of course.

This has been picked up by some of us.

Yes. I found the settings had changed when I saw that MQA passthrough was occurring on the signal path streaming from Tidal. 1.7 appears to have reset the defaults, but in this case too the defaults are wrong…
