Roon 1.3 DSD to PCM conversion [resolved]

Need help…
When I play from my mac mini DSD 64 file via Roon / mRendu / dCS Debussy dec plays in native DSD 64.
When I start HQ Player and play DSD 64 file via Roon / HQP /mRendu / dCS Debussy the DSD 64 gets converted to PCM in the mac mini / roon path before it gets to HQP.
Thank you in advance!

Here are some screen shots:


If you do anything like cross fade, volume levelling or volume control that has to be done in PCM. Turn off your cross-fade and that should sort it…

Thank you for your help!
Can you please let me know where to find the cross-fade so I can turn it off?
Getting lost here… sorry

Click on the zone icon which will bring up the Zones list. click on the three dot menu and choose Zone settings. And you should see a screen that looks like this.

Turn volumn leveling to off, crossfade time set to 0 sec is Off.

Great!
I’ll try when I can start again Roon… crashes all the time.
Some times stays stable until I turn it off and then crashes when it’s open.
Maybe my mac mini is not up to task.
Thank you again,
Vassil

The mac mini might not be, is it an i3 or better cpu?

intel core 2 with 8megs ram

Yeah, that might be an issue depending on a lot of things. The advertised minimum is an i3 processor, especially if you are running HQPlayer on the same PC.

Yes,
I also can’t use the DSP on Roon.
Breakers up every few seconds.
The cross fade is turned off to 0 and works perfect now until the next crash:)

Thank you again for all your help!!!
Cheers
