Just want to see if there's a correct way for setting things up in Roon.

The default setting in Roon for the ID41 for MQA is Renderer only, is that correct? Either or on my display it shows 88 MHR. The only difference is that it shows the signal path where Roon would decode it first before it feeds to ID41.

I have a 218 just sitting there doing nothing at the moment (in fact I have three haha), would it help to put it in the chain somewhere?

Sorry for the vague question but in the early days there were no good MQA source so never really cared too much about it, but it seems to me with the current source where MQA was no longer an after thought, even with the 861v8 where it not even supposed to decode MQA seems to sound better with MQA.

Also, a separate questions, I still have a MC200 sitting there, and I only had it to configure/update the other Sooloos component. With the Meridian Device Control, does that mean I no longer needed it?
