Looks like it, along with the ability to keep master authentication intact
Canât try it now, or itâll wake up the mrs, who would then throw me (or the hifi out)!

Just got home and fired it up, it sure does.
You can also now very easily identify MQA Tidal albums. Very nice!!
You guys rock!
Bit of a MQA newbie âŚ
I see the full works with my Dragonfly which had. Firmware update to support MQA
On my other DAC which is not MQA will Roon take MQA to 24 96 ? Looks like it
Or just 16 44

Great work! Was looking forward to the MQA first unfold and a better way to organise versions.
Both handled in a manner better then we could of expected.
Tres bien!
Really like the new âVersionsâ tab! (Not yet translated⌠)
I still dont see the point of displaying irrelevant path information for the local versions however:
Just checking before I spend too much time fiddling, does post MQA upsamling only work with Roon DSP and not HQP?

Hey John
You can still have Roon do the 1st unfold before âsignal leaves Roonâ to HQP. And HQP can do whatever you want with the 1st unfold.
You just wonât get the MQA signal âcarrying throughâ HQP to your MQA DAC (if thatâs applicable).
Proceed with fiddling
It preserves the rendering instructions so that the DAC can complete the rendering stage. That is not MQA authentication. The Authentication is ended when DSP has been applied because you are not getting âwhat was heard in the studioâ.
Fiddle it is than as currently I have no sound and the Holo is showing PCM rather than DSD.

You could also use Decoder only. âDecoder & Rendererâ and âRendererâ options prevent DSP upsampling.
You want that turned off.
Hey Daniel, as I mentioned though: âWith any of the other 3 MQA compatibility options, Roon would only do the 1st unfold to 96kHz and output 96kHz to the S2 DAC, even with Roon DSP with DSD512 up-sampling enabled the entire time.â
So that includes âDecoder onlyâ.
The only way I could get Roon 1st unfold + Roon DSD up-sampling to work was by selecting 'No MQA supportâ
Hence asking if thatâs normal or not how itâs supposed to be
Ah, the old âno soundâ trick.
Have you selected both âNo MQA supportâ and further below that âEnable MQA Core Decoderâ?
How come I get analog out? Trying to put my Mac to play sound from the E2 but it wonât when I play from Roon. When I play from iTunes everything is ok. Is there anything in the settings that I fâŚcked up? Is there a way to reset the zone
Yes, that would make sense. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, if you are doing any kind of DSP Upsampling, then Roon will have to do everything basically and you should set your DAC to âNo MQA Supportâ.
I thought Roon could carry the MQA signal through with Roon DSP through to the MQA DAC⌠Thatâs not possible if you select âNo MQA Supportâ.
Letâs see what Brian says.
But then there are only 3 white lights on the E2. Is Roon decoding 192? What is the E2 doing then?
Sure it does. I just looked at an album in my library in Redbook, 24/96, and MQA â192â versions. Roon lets me pick any one of them as the primary. Iâve got the 24/96 version showing as the primary.
