First let me say how much I enjoy ROON mostly for SQ.
To let you know long before ‘MASTERS’ appeared in your TIDAL page under ‘what’s new’ I was getting a blue light on my Meridian Explorer 2 (brand new) and 24/44.1 bit rate when I played the MQA only playlists i had made on TIDAL.
That brings me to my 'not related to ROON issue: I ONLY get TIDAL MQA albums and my playlists in MQA to play sound through A+3.01.
I get no sound from non MQA albums on TIDAL.
I get no sound from Qobuz in FLAC 16/44.1 and I get no sound from my iTunes library.
The sound bar moves A+3 gives bit rates for all non MQA music my ME2 lights up 1-3 white lights but NO sound.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have changed NOTHING since upgrading to A+3.
In addition ROON plays MQA and non MQA TIDAL albums and playlists and my iTunes library / TIDAL desktop plays both MQA and non MQA and Qobuz desktop plays FLAC.
BUT A+3 only delivers MQA!!
Any thoughts why this is and how to fix it would be appreciated?
No one at CA/A+3 have responded to me with any meaningful ideas Damien said it was a firmware problem with ME2 yet why does everything else work.
I even have unplugged everything rebooted my late 2012 mac mini i7 16GB RAM and removed disinstalled all previous issues of A+.
Carl-Thanks yes I have several times( rebooted my mac mini) and reuploaded the v1717 firmware each time still only MQA! Eric had a good idea -I will call Meridian in the USA and see if they can help but I find it illogical that it’s a ME2 issue as like I said I get MQA and non MQA from ROON and from TIDAL and with appropriate light on ME2 and I get FLAC from Qobuz on the respective desktop apps
Thanks for replying

@crieke: Thanks I don’t mind getting the emails I’ve just learned not to reply back because they just get sent back to me so I just go to the community page once I get the email notice.
Just to be clear one this … you will still get the email from the forum when someone replies to one of your posts with or without putting your email address in a post.
However, including your email address in posts puts you a risk from SPAMBOTS that trawl the web looking for emails address to target with junk and phishing emails. Hence it’s really not a good idea to include an email address in posts.
@Carl@crieke@Eric: All is well in my audiophile world the problem I had with A+3 was A+3- I had checked the box at bottom of audio units preference page with it unchecked I have TIDAL MQA/non MQA/Qobuz HiFi lossless/iTunes library! Thanks for your help despite my problem not being ROON related
