Simple Interface Question regarding 24/192

[Eric_Mitchell]

Core Machine (Operating system/System info/Roon build number)

MAC mini 2018 i3

Network Details (Including networking gear model/manufacturer and if on WiFi/Ethernet)

Gryphon Router Base connected to Ethernet
Gryphon Mesh
Mac mini connected through WIFI

Audio Devices (Specify what device you’re using and its connection type - USB/HDMI/etc.)

KEF LSX

Description Of Issue

LSX are playing at down-sampled bit-rate through Airplay. Seems like the LSX are capable of more so if I connect Ethernet from MAC mini to LSX and LSX to slave with Ethernet, will I be essentially getting the full lossless broadcast through the LSX?

Somewhat of a newbie to Roon and HIFI. Please excuse any ignorance on my part.

Yes, Ethernet will give you the best Roon experience.

If you can play to WiFi without any stuttering or drop outs, then the available res and the SQ should be the same as Ethernet.

Of the three, Airplay is the worst choice.

Hi @Eric_Mitchell,

This is correct, you will be limited in terms of sample rate via Airplay.
I would suggest connecting the Core + LSX via Ethernet for best stability.
