Roon 1.6 AUDIO feedback thread

WHat is for sure is that the bits sent to your F1 USB XMOS receiver are identical in both cases.

Well, do we know that? Software changes often introduce bugs. Could be a bug is changing what gets sent to the USB out.

As I said, I have personnally checked that Roon 1.6 is as bitperfect as Roon 1.5 on Coreaudio. USB drivers aren’t changed and are getting the same Coreaudio input.

Ah, OK, thanks for confirming. I must have missed that earlier in the thread.

“bit perfect” was a sufficient solution for “perfect sound” from digital audio devices, then the many of the simplest and cheapest devices would sound identical to the most complex and expensive. This is demonstrably not the case though I certainly wish it were so.

Analogue output stages; power supplies etc.?
