Roon ARC bitperfect playback for DAPs

It’s only for external DAC so no DAP support yet.

tried ARC 1.0.5 in USB/bit-perfect mode on a HiBy New R6 (2020) running Android 9 outputting via USB-C to a Topping E50 DAC: everything downsampled to 44.1kHz, no MQA, just like without bit-perfect mode.

I am a bit confused, I didn’t see a thread about it but basically we agree that the new feature of Roon ARC, MUSE correct the “48khz resampling issue”?

When I am looking at the path I see MQA pushed to 384khz and 192khz Flac resampled (I guess for internal processing) at 384khz too, all 24bits.

Did I miss something?

hi,
any idea is that at all possible or considered as a feature for future ARC? I want bitperfect ARC on my new M17 :slight_smile:

just compared one album in Qobuz app vs. streamed from qobuz thru ARC resampled - difference is rather huge :frowning:

They have said it’s on the agenda, but as ARC has other issues they need to sort out, I doubt it will be any time soon.
