Using Roon With A Mac Mini M1 Directly Into Marantz Receiver

Roon Software Discussion
9

Hi there @Mike_Rife,

I’ve just installed Roon on an old MacMini 2012. I have it connected to my AVR via an optical (through the jack in the back that looks like a headphone jack but is really a mini optical) wire.

Please see this thread I created on the support group, Roon --- MacMini --- Marantz NR1200 (via HDMI)

I have several questions about your setup, please humour me, I’ve spent days here and this is my first stereo system, ever. I’m not super tech savvy, but learn quick when pointed in the right direction. :slight_smile:

  1. how did you get the MacMini (my setup is also a late 2012 8GB RAM and only am streaming Tidal, no local music files) to transmit at full bitrate of 192KHz-32bit (mine sends 96KHz-32bit)

  2. how do you get the MacMini to only send music to your AVR (mine sends video as well as music to the AVR and the video then plays on my TV)

Thank you so much in advance Mike!
My regards
Amit
