Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Hardware with Roon Application Roon 1.5 is here, c/w MQA software decoding

Thanks Joel and Russ, it’s now more understandable for me.

ALL these questions below are for DSP only:

Decode with Roon is the first step/process to get the MQA Information?
Rendering is the last process it’s done in the SE speakers?

Software-decode with Roon OR Hardware-decode in the 218?

But there are "only" two steps - decode and rendering?

Reason for asking here is for the 218.
Roon could make the first step with the SW decode, and the 218 can/should render?
(For analogue the 218 can render as Russ say)?

So maybe after the first SW-decode from Roon (not made in the 218 "just" delivered as a decoded MQA stream to the 218 ?? )
then the 218 could do some part of rendering for the non SE speakers as the 218 have the option to select "Renderer only"?

Could that maybe a future option for non-SE speakers?
