Hello @Christopher_Seiffe,
Thanks for making that change and confirming that it resolves the issue. You can read about what the blue and purple stars mean on our Signal Path Documentation, and I would fully expect a blue star when applying DSP as per our KB doc:
Enhanced signal paths are indicated by a bright blue light. This means that Roon is performing some signal processing steps on the audio because you asked for them . The most common reason for a blue light is that features like Volume Leveling or DSP Engine are in use.
Please follow the I linked above for any new updates on this issue:
Thanks,
Noris
