Play all kind of multichannel music

[RobertW]

I want to play Mch music through my ROON and Trinnov Altitude32 and meridian speakers. I strongly prefer playback fom files on my HDD. The Label 2L offer here for example
Please see here
2 disc
One SACD Hybrid and one Blu-Ray pure audio

and optional files downloads(excerpt)

24/96 surround sound 5.1 files

24/96 Auro 3Dfiles (embedded in 5.1 FLAC)

Dolby Atmos in MP4 File
Dolby Atmos TrueHD and Auro-3D in MKV file

24/88 discrete channels WAF 7.1.4 immersive

DXD stereo files
DXD surround sound 5.1 files
DXD discrete channels WAV 7.1.4. immersive

As my AV is the Trinnov Altitude32 that can “decode”
Dolby all Surround
Auro-3D
DTS Neural:X
Legacy
Native

and i have “enough” speakers

1. what can ROON help me here ?

2. I guess, as ROON offer me under “device setup” and “advanced” with the AL32 the choises of a that 2.0 / 5.1 / 7.1 / layouts, that i should can stream that layouts
   to the AL32 ?

3. Which files formats are here supported ?

4. And the decoding from Dolby//DTS is made then in the AL32 or does ROON any decoding here ?

5. For the immersive formats ( Auro-3d and DTS and DOLBY ) can ROON stream them to the AL32 when that files in the storage ?

6. DXD files are supported to stream to the trinnov Altitude ?

7. Can DVDA and SACD formats be played through ROON when the files are in the storaged(ripped from the Disc´s ?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but i like ROON very much and want to use it much as possible. Also i do not have either a blu-ray or any SACD player so i have to buy it what is not my interest when i can avoid it.And my speakers only have digital audio inputs, so i have always to stay in the digital domain.

Thanks to all

Only some points:

• The AL32 seems as Roon endpoint limited to 24/96 multichannel
• The AL32 don’t support DSD (resampling to PCM)
• Roon itself supports no Atmos
• Roon has no decoder integrated, but supports multichannel flacs until 8 channels
• Roon supports DD and dts, if you encoupsel it in a flac container (but shows it as stereo and can’t use then any dsp from Roon, because you’ve to send the native stream)
• For ripping SACDs you need an external player, which supports it

I’ve a lot of multichannel resources (SACD, DVD-A, Bluray Audio, Bluray Video, dts CDs, music dvds, downloads,…) but also multiple Roon endpoints, which handle them in a different way, connected to my AVP through HDMI or analogue.
Otherwise I’m using for not really supported formats some BluRay player.
