SACD but format WAV 44.1kHz 16 bit? What might actually be in it?
Please check the content of the files with another player, like for examle VLC, that gives good information about the codec in use.

This is probably not supported by the ChromeCast:

Can you play these file(s) via other ways to your ChromeCast? Does it work?
As far as can be seen from the picture of your signal path, Roon doesn’t do any processing to the stream. So the issues likely stems from somewhere down the chain (ChromeCast or receiver).

You may have to re-rip or re-encode the compressed DTS to a supported discrete multichannel format, that should work.

VLC can play the track to the same device. Without noice. So VLC has a correct codec for that format.

Yes, VLC has but Roon not. But Roon can pass-through the file(s) unaltered what, as I wrote above, seems to be the case for you. So there is no more that Roon can do for you. Down the chain are the ChromeCast and the receiver - one of those two devices seems to be unhappy with what it receives.

Ok. I understand this. Maybe Roon can do it like VLC in the future. Thanks for the answer.
