Article: Roon 1.3 Major Update Coming Today


Recommended Posts

Is it better to upsample in Roon?

 

Also, how does one read the DR levels? Such as +-3?

Anyone using headroom and, if so, why would one employ this?

Any time you're using DSP (especially equalizer), you have the potential to boost signal up to (or past) clipping threshold.

 

"Headroom" is to allow a few dBs of headroom ;) so that you don't clip the output.

 

I found it useful when employing even mild Parametric Eq - I actually reduced gain on the Eq by 1dB, but still needed another 1dB of headroom in the Headroom section to completely avoid clipping.

 

 

If I'm up sampling, would you recommend using it?
