The Hegel is telling roon it will do it so. The 44 to 105 is happening after roon and inside the Hegel, which as it is roon ready is telling roon what it is doing.
The Hegel has a special/odd way of converting as you can see

Roon is resampling files on Hegel H190?

There are a couple of things at play here, and they aren’t necessarily connected. The re-sampling in Roon: The H95/120/190 only accept these formats - 44.1, 88.2 and 176.4. Over UPnP, the resampling is done inside the amp. With Roon it is done in Roon, which is better. You can obviously argue that it would be better if we accepted all files natively, but it is a significant cost issue. Some manufacturers will think that doing all of them natively is the best solution. We think that saving th…
