Re: Mp2500r sacd
Ok, update available yesterday installed ROON and the T+A Music Navigator. Huge change in user interface and user experience. The down side is for some reason DSD files play through ROON are being converted to PCM and I can find no setting to change that?

Re: Mp2500r sacd
I am at work so I can't check, however I am fairly sure there is settings in Roon that controls this. On the other hand to take full advantage of what a T+A DAC can do I suggest you consider HQPlayer. Roon actually has completely integrated HQPlayer into Roon, allowing for a HQPlayer Zone. Basically Roon is handing off the digital signal to HQPlayer which then actually becomes the playback engine while Roon is handling the control and meta data chores.
I am also not sure if HQPlayer software can be used with the Nucleus+???McIntosh C49, MC152, MR85, R778 | T+A DAC 8 DSD | KEF LS50 Meta w/S2, KC62 (x2) | Rega RP8, Ania Pro, NEO PSU | Technics SL-1500C | Audio Technica VM750ML | Hexmat Eclipse, Yellow Bird, Molekula, Molekula Mini | Pro-Ject VC-E | Falcon NW PC Server (Roon Core & HQPlayer) | Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Roon Controller) | Abyss Diana Phi | Astell&Kern SE200 | Oppo BDP105

Re: Mp2500r sacd
The T+A players only play DSD files via the USB input, i.e. either from a laptop or a file server. I use an Aurender on my PDP 3000 HV. I am told they are looking at applying a fix that will allow DSD files from a NAS drive, not there yet though.

Re: Mp2500r sacd
I was writing a long dissertation on how to setup Roon to have an external drive as a storage source along with a mapped NAS on the network as a Roon source... butt hen I realize that we do not even know what is your controling software, what machine has Roon installed on it? And with T+A to play DSD you go through the USB input.
I can say for sure it is not the DAC. I play exclusively DSD512 on my T+A DAC from my Customize computer / music server.McIntosh C49, MC152, MR85, R778 | T+A DAC 8 DSD | KEF LS50 Meta w/S2, KC62 (x2) | Rega RP8, Ania Pro, NEO PSU | Technics SL-1500C | Audio Technica VM750ML | Hexmat Eclipse, Yellow Bird, Molekula, Molekula Mini | Pro-Ject VC-E | Falcon NW PC Server (Roon Core & HQPlayer) | Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Roon Controller) | Abyss Diana Phi | Astell&Kern SE200 | Oppo BDP105

Re: Mp2500r sacd
I am now to understand it is the T+A DAC. I use a ROON Nucleus + and it appears T+A DSD will not work on Linux system and that's a bummer Originally Posted by Randy Myers

Re: Mp2500r sacd
Yea, I was just reading the the manual actually. That is quite the machine with a ton of capabilities. It does appear that DSD has to go through the USB port. DSD256 and DSD512 requires a Windows computer. This makes me think that you could probably configure the Linux machine to do DSD64 and DSD128.
From their manual:
"4x S/P-DIF: 2x standard coax (192 kSps /24 bit) and 2x optical TOSLink (96 kSps /24 bit)1x USB:
Device-Mode - up to 384 kSps / 32 bit (LPCM) and DSD512*,
supports asynchronous data transfer.2x USB master-mode for USB-mass storage devices (USB stick orVFAT formatted harddisc)
* DSD256 and DSD512 only with a Windows PC with appropriate driver installed."
I know these companies use Linux but I really don't understand why they do not offer a Windows based system. It works so much better in my view. In essence they are computers (in my view a bit more basic computers)... but there are compromises to make them plug and play I guess.McIntosh C49, MC152, MR85, R778 | T+A DAC 8 DSD | KEF LS50 Meta w/S2, KC62 (x2) | Rega RP8, Ania Pro, NEO PSU | Technics SL-1500C | Audio Technica VM750ML | Hexmat Eclipse, Yellow Bird, Molekula, Molekula Mini | Pro-Ject VC-E | Falcon NW PC Server (Roon Core & HQPlayer) | Microsoft Surface Pro 6 (Roon Controller) | Abyss Diana Phi | Astell&Kern SE200 | Oppo BDP105

Re: Mp2500r sacd
Anyone know if the DSD via USB is still an issue? Finally putting my stereo back together, just with limited space. This unit seems interesting

I use the same power supplies on my switches and the positive result was such that I haven't bothered investigating linear power supplies.
