Description of Issue

Ethernet bridge receives downsamples from core not native DSD

USB downsamples DSD at core also

Is the USB connected to a PC or Mac? If PC, you should install Windows drivers and use ASIO connection.

Assuming the DAC is DSD capable:

The first screenshot looks like a misconfiguration of the device in Roon or the endpoint internal setup.

The second screenshot with “OS Mixer” indicates the wrong output is chosen in Roon audio settings.

I have connect three Waversa products that I have. All are Roon ready and none will have Roon pass a native DSD signal. They are all down sampled to low resolution PCM. Can someone from support please advise me? @noris

I have magically seen DSD256 appear in the Roon device setup screen for first time and I have been able pass native DSD. So all is good for now.
