What inside the DSjr FPGA is a well designed upsampling process which upsample everything input. In theory, this type of operation is not recommended to do twice.

HQPlayer and the Directstream. Settings?

I’ve been running a trial of Roon, loving the ability to seamlessly span both my iTunes-based library and Tidal. However, I wasn’t excited about the sound quality coming out of Roon. There was a clear and obvious difference, so much so that my wife said, “Okay, then, Roon is for when we’re in the other room,” referring to the kitchen and dinette area, not the sweet spot in the living room.

Ted’s really recommended connection is TOSLink - it allows DSjr to work on a fully electrically isolated ground, which has very good benefits for Jitter control.
Due to bandwidth limitation of the TOSLink, you can only get up to 24/192 audio transmissions (up to DSD64). This is basically the same as the built-in bridge specifications. So if your Roon server and DAC are not too far away, try TOSLink first.
