Hi all,
after almost giving up on using it for Roon at all i have found a way to engage again the device that showed a strange behavior
after e couple of seconds it was turning in a totally ruined sound quality like distortion because of clipping
the trick was to go to
Settings → System → Factory Reset
and reconfigure the device from scratch - you need to attach the device over a LAN cable to your router with DHCP enabled - otherwise you will have a problem to reconnect for reconfiguration
the other tip is when you change the DAC or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to the DAC you may loose the ability to control the volume with the device level option
especially switching from one DAC to another there are some problems you can get with the recognition of the setting:
Settings - General Playback Options - Volume Options
Mixer Type - should be recognized as Hardware
Mixer Control Name - should match the name of the device in
Settings - General Playback Options - Audio Output
Output Device -
please note that some USB DAC do not have the hardware mixer type, for example the good old
Musical Fidelity V90-DAC
has to be set with mixer type at software
so far - so good
Stefano
P.S.:
minDSP 2X4 HD
miniDSP Flex 8 DL
have all mixer type hardware with a full functioning digital volume control also acroos the Pro-Ject Stream Box
