I see magenta if if I link zones in Roon and the second zone is a renderer only (Bluesound Flex for example) the Roon is performing the core decoding… The 218 remains green.
No 18 in the Hall of fame  I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best: GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone

A blue (studio) or green (non-studio) MQA light should mean unambiguously that the MQA stream has been authenticated with cryptographic certainty; it is impossible for this to take place on a decoded MQA stream.
It just occurred to me that, if the decoder and renderer are linked by a suitable encryption system (i.e. like an 818v3 and SE loudspeakers), then the decoder can communicate the MQA status to the renderer.
However, if this were the case, I would expect, in a 210 -> 218 scenario, that both devices show the same colour. That they do not suggests to me that the 218 hardware can't do a magenta light.
