Hello,
Today i found out that Roon server doesn’t support DSD256 tracks on my Moon 280D Mind 2 . DSD128 files work fine but when I try to play DSD 256 (which of course is supported by the Moon and the Moon appon my Ipad) the player shuts down after 30 to 50 seconds.
I this a software problem? Is there a solution?
Thank you,
Jon Spijker

Description of Issue
Today i found out that Roon my server doesn’t support my DSD256 tracks on the Moon 280D Mind 2 . DSD128 files work fine but when I try to play DSD 256 (which of course is supported by the Moon and the Moon app on my Ipad) the player does not respond anymore after 30 to 50 seconds.
I this a software problem? Is there a solution? Is something wrong in my setup?
Thank you,

Also what is your firmware on your moon mind.I have the most recent with 2.02.
Your pretty low there yourself at 1.9x
I have 2 280D’s and have had sporadic issues with DSD256 on both. They have always been resolved with a hard reboot. This means actually switching off the hard power switch on the back of the unit and waiting for at least a minute before switching it back on. (10 seconds is not long enough, I found out the hard way)
Also, as suggested above, make sure your firmware is up to date. And yes, you have to do the power switch reboot after firmware updates.
Works for me at this speed no hiccups
you fine its still low thats all, below 1.5 you start to get in trouble terriority.
Above I asked how your moon is connected in your system and someone else answered.
Is it via ethernet ir usb to the roon core?
As you can see in my Setup information I put:
Networking Gear & Setup Details
Router: TpLink Archer C2300
Ethernet cable Cat. 7
NAS QNAP 231P
No VPN
Roon Remote on Ipad 2018 and Iphone 13 Pro Max
Is this enough info?
Do you have the 280d with mind 2 connected by ethernet or wifi ? Does it have the latest firmware.Check this on the mind controller app ?
Thanks guys so far. Unfortunately, I’m not at home right now to check. I will find out the signal path and speed tomorrow asap
The Roon Core is running on a miniPC which is also connected to the system through an ethernet cable(cat. 6)
Just to clarify the audio path is
roon core > ethernet > moon
I’d be very interested to see processing speed in dsd128 and then the dsd256 it falls down on.
You might just get away with 1.2x but that’s pushing danger zone territory.
