Just a quick question, you mentioned a friend’s setup. Is he/she using the exact same
NUC>ethernet>Auralic_G2>USB>Denafrips>McIntosh_Amp setup?
What happens if you remove the Auralic from the equation and just go NUC>USB>Denafrips>McIntosh_Amp? Do the DSD options appear?
Roon displays options in response to capability queries the connected endpoint or DAC returns. In this case, Roon is not being told DSD is a possibility so it does not display those options. There could be any number of reasons. But, the first is to check if the DSD options appear in Roon without the G2 in the chain.
I erased and restarted the G2. Thank you. All settings became available but the Output to USB is no longer a selectable item. Whether via the IP or the front panel USB Output is no longer there.
