Description Of Issue

Hi all,

I was wondering what would be the optimum device settings for my Denon AVC(/R)-X3700H receiver, for which, although it is Roon-tested, there doesn’t seem to be a pre-set in the Roon device set-up settings.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @NOD,

Welcome to the forum!

I’m not seeing this device in the certified Roon-Tested category on our end, let me check with the team on this one!

If you are using hdmi connection, roon ready/tested aren’t relevent. Those are for network playback.

In settings -> audio you should see the hdmi adapter of your mac, not the avr. On windows it says Intel Display Audio. Don’t know what it says on mac.

Enable that and click on the gears for settings. Set exclusive on, no mqa support, dsd convert to pcm, volume limit fixed. In the advanced dropdown set mqa core decoder on. You can set volume leveling in the zone settings if desired.

You should then be good to go.

Thanks for checking up on that. I have decided to pursue the wired option over Airplay for SQ reasons.

Many thanks again!
