No volume control seen on Gustard
One of my endpoints uses also with the Matrix Audio SPDIF2 and the Matrix Audio Element 2i I2S.
The problem with I2S is, that itâs not a standard and it seems, that your interface doesnât support multiple settings. Also it can be, that you must use an external power supply.
Also: I2S doesnât support MQA (and you have a Tidal running).
Comparing on my system I2S with direct USB input or RAAT, I canât hear any differences and so if can also for you make sense, not to include the USB-I2S-bridge.
When using DSD, software volume control isnât working and it seems, that the Gustard isnât supported in using hardware volume control in Roon.
sorryâŚhere it is

The Douk does have an external 5v power supply.
I removed the bridge and Roon now finds the Gustard and it is found in the Macâs audio devices
You re correct about the volume control not working
Any further ideas

Get a DSD roon capable DAC to connect from your Mac to your powered speakers and roon will recognize it; then you should be able to play DSD files.

ThanksâŚany suggestions?

Actually, this is the linkâŚ
There are a few caveats for DSD playback, which you need to understand, but you still havenât demonstrated that the U2 is recognized as a Roon endpoint.
The OP has a capable DSD DAC.
I bought the Cambridge Audio DACMagic200M. Itâs simple, not very expensive, but works great! No hassles like some others. Plays DSD and MQA! Easy setup and Roon ready.
Hi @Todd_Lefkowitz ,
Are you still seeing this issue at the present time? We were discussing a related case and noticed your report here, and one suggestion that may help is if you disable DSP volume on your Gustard zone. After you disable DSP volume, hopefully, volume control will work again. Hope this helps!
