Description of Issue

Using my Android phone to configure the Nucleus One, pressed the Settings gear, scrolled to Audio and selected it. The Roon Nucleus (with ALSA below the name) appears in the “Connected to Roon Server” section. Pressing the gear and selecting “Device Setup”, it displays “Unidentified device, Nucleus One HDMI Output”. When I press “Identify this Device”, a list of devices appears, none of which is the Nucleus One. Or, should I select a Marantz option (my receiver is not one of the options). While I can play music and hear it through the Marantz, I am not sure I am getting all of the setting options and the highest quality of music resolution possible while in this “Unidentified” state. Am I concerned about nothing? Thank you

The “Device” in this context is the device to which the HDMI output of your Nucleus One is connected; not the Nucleus One itself.

And, looking at the Roon Partner page for Marantz, I don’t see the SR7015 listed, as you say.

So you can leave it as unidentified, while setting the Zone name to be whatever makes the most sense to you e.g. SR7015 or the location of the system in your house.

So long as you have matched the device settings to what the Marantz can deal with, you will get the maximum quality that the Marantz can offer.

Hi @Craig_Wheeler,
Thanks for reaching out to us about this issue. I agree with what @Geoff_Coupe said in his comment. The unidentified state should not affect the quality of the sound you get as long as your settings work with the Marantz. If you have any more questions or issues we will be standing by to help!
