Streambox S2 Ultra as bridge, connected via USB to a Topping DX7 Pro

Number of Tracks in Library

Description of Issue

The topping DX7 Pro directly connected to Core stream perfectly Native DSD64, 128 and 256, if I use the streambox S2 Ultra it always convert to PCM.

I would stream native DSD via Project Streambox S2 Ultra.

Please find in attachment some picture of Roon / Streambox settings.

It’s a shame, one of the most famous software with 0% support!

Just another user: For native DSD a driver of some sorts is usually needed. Does the Linux kernel on the Streambox have a driver for the Topping DX7 Pro that supports native DSD?

I’m not an IT specialist. I bought a roon ready device, it should be roon compliant … I don’t know how to check, any suggestion ?

Hey @marco_Taricani,

Thanks a lot for reporting this. We’d love to help find an answer to this.

Would you please share a screenshot of your Signal Path as you’re playing a DSD file to your Topping via the Streambox?

Hey @marco_Taricani,

Thanks a lot for that!

Would you be able to navigate to the Streabox Web UI settings and setting it to DoP? Is there any change?

[marco_Taricani]

No change see pictures.
Of course before test I saved the configuration and rebooted the steeambox.
