Roon issues on Fiio M11

[noris]

Hi @Danny_Scarbrough,

1 - Regardless of what settings I choose or whether I disable DSP I can’t seem to get the playback to NOT do a 24 to 64 bit depth conversion and I can’t get the playback to NOT do a sample rate conversion from say 96khz to 44.1khz even though I know the DACs in the M11 are capable of high resolution playback

Please see this thread:

Fiio M11 upsample/downsample on Roon

Hi @joaopmts, Thank you for your patience as we have been looking into this issue further. I spoke with the team today and we have been able to reproduce this behavior with the M11 we have in house and have identified what we believe is going on here. When Roon starts playback to an Android zone, it uses the Android System Mixer to do so, at whatever it’s current rate is. It appears that the Tidal app sets the System Mixer sample rate to 96kHz and it does not revert back when the app is clos…

2 - Do we know if there’s anything I can enable to get the physical buttons on the M11 to control plackback?

Do the physical buttons work at all? For example when the Roon app is open and playing to the M11 zone?
