That was my thinking and why I didn’t buy a 218. With Roon I have first unfold and the option of DSP for no extra outlay. With the 218, I wouldn’t have the DSP option at all.
To get full MQA from my Meridian system, I would have to completely start again and with things sounding as nice as they do now, I don’t think I will bother.

No 18 in the Hall of fame smile 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
