I am new to Roon and am very happy with it. I am especially happy with the great support for Sb products (I own 3).
Anyway, one of my boxes is a TP. Under Audio settings/Max Sample Rate (PCM), my only choices are disabled or 48kHz. However, I know that the TP is supposed to support 96kHz sample rates. Any idea why I am not being given that choice?
I have to admit that most of the conversations I read about high rez playback are way over my head. I may be missing something quite obvious. Anyway, if anyone knows the answer to my question, i would be most appreciative.
It’s a slightly poorly worded option. It should say “Sample Rate limiting” as the switch is designed to limit the max sample rate (96kHz) of the player.
Just to assure you, here’s mine playing a hi-res file
Although, to be fair, the explanatory tooltip is pretty clear
In short, Roon knows that the Transporter is not capable of >96k sample rates, so the sample-rate limiting options presented to you are “Disabled” and “48kHz”.
I suspect if you wanted to set up an audio zone of multiple squeezeboxes and you had some older ip3k players such as the SB3/Classic/Boom (max 48k sample rate) etc., it would allow you to play the same material to them all, in much the same way SOX would work within LMS.
I am new to Roon. I decided to try it out to check how it worked with my two SB devices (Touch and Transporter). I am happy to report that both of my SB devices are working great with Roon.
However, while I am able to send hi-rez files to the SB Touch (up to 96khz), Roon only gives me the option to stream a maximum sampling rate of 48khz to the Transporter.
I know that the Transporter can handle 96khz so I am wondering why Roon is limiting me to 48khz. Any ideas? Thanks!
