I am happy that you are working on MQA implementation. Having problems with Tidal Masters via Roon: If I set my dac as can’t decode or render I get Masters at 88 or 96 kb/s, roon is apparently software unfolding, My dac can do both unfolding and rendering. If it set it (in Roon) as able to do either or both, I only get 44 or 48 kb/s music. In no case does the MQA blue light come on as recognizing a MQA stream.
When playing directly from Tidal all the MQA files are recognized and decoded properly, though.
playing Ornette Coleman, The Atlantic Years, the dac display shows word length of 32 and 48 khz (should be 192). The MQA light is not lit. Dac is set as renderer only.
If you have the DAC set to “Renderer Only” and are seeing 32/48 on your device, that means that Roon’s MQA Core Decoder is not activated. Let’s get that working and then we can continue troubleshooting. Go back to the Device Setup page for the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ zone, click the “show advanced” button, and make sure that “Enable MQA Core Decoder” is on. When you have done this, make sure to click the “Save” button to confirm your settings.
Please make sure to check that you have MQA enabled in the settings on your Mytek Brooklyn DAC+. You can also try using the Mytek ASIO drivers located at their support website to see if that changes the behavior of MQA playback.
Using the ASIO Mytek driver makes the MQA decoding in the dac work properly. I can just use the ASIO, although eventually it would be nice to get back to the regular driver
