Signal Path Cyrus Soundkey

Hi,

I’m new to Roon and wondered if someone could explain what is happening during this signal path and how do I tell what quality I’m actually listening to as there are two components missing. I have a Cyrus Soundkey plugged into the laptop feeding Sony WH-1000 3X headphones.

Many Thanks
Simon

It’s downgrading everything as you have the output going through the system output.
What do you see in too settings, audio for the laptop?

Thanks, I was hoping using an external DAC would push the quality back up?

I’m sure it would but you don’t seem to have selected it. Do a screenshot as above.

Excuse my ignorance but how do I get back into set up to add another endpoint, I’m in settings and the thing I can see is set up Roon OS but that just keeps spinning. I assumed it would recognise what it was playing through…thanks

Ignore that, I found it in Audio and will test it when I get back. I also had my Sonos speakers set up via Airplay not streaming…

This sounds better…Thanks
