FAQ: How can I achieve the best quality output?
Start with lossless or high-resolution content, and stream it to a high-quality endpoint that supports the content's native resolution. You can read more about the endpoints we support here.
During playback, you can use the Signal Path feature to gain insight into exactly what steps are taken to play your audio and the impact that each step has on audio quality.
Quality-conscious users may also avoid enabling features like Volume Leveling and Crossfade because they cause the Roon to apply digital volume scaling.
