Hi James

I posted the link to Anders' thread, the point he was making was that currently with Roon, a Meridian MQA endpoint and SE speakers you have to ensure the Meridian endpoint is doing the MQA decode and not Roon as the SE speakers will not recognise the rendering information in the decoded MQA file if it comes from anywhere other than a Meridian MQA endpoint, apparently this issue is known by Meridian and a fix is being worked on, but no timescales have been given.

Despite Anders' system having the ability to decode and render using the 818v3 and DSP8000SE’s I believe he prefers Roon EQ and room correction and is willing to forego the rendering therefore he does the MQA decode in Roon.

To ensure the endpoint is set to do the decode you go to the device setup page in Roon and then go to show advanced and ensure MQA capabilities is set to decoder and renderer.

Hope that helps?
