Hello, I’d like to give some new information here. In the mean time I have invested in a Roon license and built up a Roon server and consider using the Rivo as Roon bridge. With Roon server directly connected to my Marantz SA-12 SACD-player/ DAC via USB it is possible to play DSD natively (as well as DoP). I think it didn’t work one month ago or so (I’m quite sure that it just was not possible to select “native” in the Roon remote that time), but now, probably with an update of the build, it works. So it is obviously possible from Roon with their RAAT protocol using ALSA.
Any other ideas why this doesn’t work with the Rivo? It does not work with Rivo alone nor with the Rivo as Roon bridge; in both cases there is a conversion to PCM if I set DSD playback to native.
Thanks
Carsten
