Apologies if this has been covered on other posts, a quick search did not reveal the information I was seeking.
Using a macOS (iMac) as a Roon Core, output via USB to both RME ADI DAC & HIDIZS S9 I found the sample rate received by the DAC did not dynamically change in accordance with the source music file (at least according to the DACs reading).
I've taken the approach of setting the output in macOS Audio MIDI Setup App to 192kHz, I've assumed the DAC is downsampling the input for source material above that rate and that Roon is upsampling source material below those rates.
Are my assumptions correct?
If so, is the upsampling/downsampling sub-optimal in the audio chain?
Thanks!
