I have a 7.1 speaker configuration coming out of a Yamaha RX-A6A. Should I select channel layout 7.1 in the nucleus one and send stereo/mono content as 7.1 for the best sound quality. Or, keep them at channel layout 2.0 and allow the Yamaha RX-A6A to use its surround programs for the 7.1 speaker layout?
Yamaha RX-A6A avr. 7.1 speaker layout. 900mbs broadband. Nucleus one with Samsung evo internal storage.
I would (especially with the Yamaha) prefer the AVR as device, which handle with the DSPs.
By the way: Most user are using a room correction and bass management in there AVRs and so you’ll multiple places (Roon and AVR), if you let Roon upsampling to 7.1 (there is also a bug in Roon with 4.0 upsampling).
Selecting 7.1 in the Roon - settings - audio - channel layout for your Yamaha is what you need to use, in my opinion.
That is not adding channels or upsampling. It allows Roon to play the files as recorded. 2 channel will play Stereo, 5.0 or 5.1 will play Multi-channel, don’t know of any recorded 7.1 music. To me the benefit of using 7.1 is that Roon adds an option to swap the sides and rears during multi-channel playback if you wish to do so.
Again, using the 7.1 setting will not cause Roon to play 2 channel as 7.1 channel. A Stereo file will only play as 2 channel.
Use the Surround processor in the Yamaha to simulate multi-channel if that is what you want.
Thanks for that. I will take note of your suggestion.
