Just starting to add some radio stations in Roon. Even though I’ve added some stations that are purported to be high quality streams, I have only seen a low quality signal path. Any ideas?
Check out https://kb.roonlabs.com/Signal_Path, particularly at the bottom where it says:
Low Quality Signal Path Examples
This is a low quality signal path–you can tell because of the yellow light. In this case, we’ve labeled it as low quality because the source material is an AAC file. For the most part, if you see a yellow light, it’s because a lossy file was involved.
I subscribe to di.fm – and to the rest of the AudioAddict network – and get a low quality signal path in Roon even though I’m listening to a 320k MP3 stream simply because it’s an MP3 stream. Even though your internet radio stream may be a very acceptable quality, chances are it’s still lossy and so Roon classifies it as low quality.
Thanks for the reply and also the info about di.
