You should be able to burn the file to your server and then play it thru the Rossini and get the MQA output.

Yes I have ripped all of them into my server and get MQA output through Roon.

However, I play CD very often. Since Rossini Player can not play sacd, I thought MQA CD can be a replacement in the future.

I have asked this question to dCS already, a physical MQA CD will not work at the moment, dCS say it is possible to make it work but it is not on their agenda.

If more request's will reach dCS, they might put it on their agenda for the next upgrade.

My Rossini player/clock arrived with version 2.0. New Rossini sounds a little bit thin on my system. It is good for string music but not good for vocal. With this tonal I am more comfortable with DP-85 rather than Rossini. I thought I probably had wrong decision of this upgrade.

I struggled with testing cables and speakers positioning to improve the mid tonal. Few weeks later, it seems miracles happened. The amazing Rossini comes back.

I'm wondering what makes this Rossini to be different. Burn in, speakers placement, cables, filters/mapping setup .... Anyway, I am happy with Rossini now.

You can always go back to the previous mapping (MAP 2 is the same as before the upgrade)

In my system I definitly prefer MAP 1 over MAP 2.

I switch upsampling/mapping/filters very often. If Rossini controller app provides quick button for combo selection that will be wonderful.

The Rossini app does allow you to do this very easily.

You can save “configurations” and load them as needed. I played around a lot initially and found that for all Roon there is one setup I like. And then have another more heavily filtered I use if I am using YouTube for video.

"Configurations" only save/load for upsampling and filters. The mapper setup will not be effected.

For some ancient albums I use map2.
