For multichannel SACD DSD64 dsf files played through Roon, Marantz AVR SR7012 connected over HDMI is showing 88.2 kHz. Is the A6 converting the DSD to PCM even if I’ve set the HDMI output to Native DSD?
If you go to AVR Info > Inputs, it’s showing DSD but 88.1 kHz. Should show 2.8 MHz if actually DSD were being streamed.
As in the transport mechanism that you’re using? Direct playback from the A6 over SMB, local USB, or Roon etc…
Aha! Seems like a bug in Roon the endpoint implementation then? Will be good to get this verified. Do you know where you can officially file a bug?
@fofocho I'm still trying to wrap my head around why the SR7012 is converting the DSD stream to PCM, while the SR7013 doesn't. Can you please explain how you've setup the SR7013?
I do not know how to help on this.. I have not done anything special. I think you had the same settings as me on the eversolo app and in the Marantz I could not say which settings would affect DSD. Also, I am using a very cheap HDMI cable that I have spare
Which HDMI port are you using? The docs for SR7012 and 7013 look identical in terms of multi channel DSD support, hence I’m really curious what I might be doing wrong.
Just updating the thread with response from Marantz engineering, in case some finds it useful: This is due to the SR7012 HDMI chipset not able to read DSD streams and hence showing wrong info. No DSD to PCM conversion is taking place in the AVR. So it’s a purely cosmetic issue.
What does it mean "it is cosmetic" if the chip cannot read DSD streams...? Or do you mean it just cannot detect their details, but it passes them over to the decoder anyway?
The latter. It can’t mess with the DSD streams so it just shows wrong information. Most importantly, the DSD streams are not converted to PCM internally, as the misleading display shows.
