I’m a bit confused on how to output from foobar2000. I have a mix of 16/44 24/96 some higher res 32 bit files. I have USB going to MScaler, then dual bnc to TT2. I have upsampling maxed to 768. If I don’t convert files from foobar I sometimes run into issues with files not playing or playing with static. Should I convert everything to 44.1? That way I get the full 16X up sample? Kinda confused here. Any advice?
You should ideally leave your music files untouched in their original resolution rather than doing anything with them before they get to the Mscaler.
Sometimes increasing the delay on the player resolves the static when going from different files. Anyway, better to find a different solution rather than downsampling everything to 44.

I tried the upsampling function of Roon with the M Scaler the other day... Only static... I guess I could still try the upscaling function with my second setup, feeding the Topping D90. I need to read up on how the Roon upsampling works though.
Thanks for your post. I’m an ultraRendu user, and while I love it, I’m intrigued by the opticalRendu.
As earlier posts mentioned the Innuos Mk3 server, have you ever considered the SonicTransporter I9 Optical? I love the idea of a direct optical connection from Roon server to opticalRendu streamer. I’m very tempted by their server+opticalRendu combo package,

I’ve read conflicting info on this. Some say if your only upsampling 2 or 4X there is no point in using the MScaler. Which is the reason I was asking, because I agree, it doesn’t make sense to output everything at 44 when some source files are much higher.
Where can I adjust the delay you speak of?
All in all - yes. If you can afford it, you should buy it.
I mean, to me everything matters. Transport, power regenerator, PSUs, USB and even power cables. But for HMS-TT2 setup a pair of ferrited cables for dBNC interface will do the biggest impact. I would had never believed it if I hadn't tried it myself.
You can also ask @alxw0w for another independent opinion. He listened to my system and had his own with different dBNC cables.
I totally agree with @Ragnar-BY when it comes to BNC cables with a m scaler.
For me good BNC cables (and by good I don't mean expensive) with proper ferrite cores are necessary to hear full potential from the m scaler.
And if I had to choose what to buy first Wave Stream cables or expensive transport - I'll go for cables without any hesitation. @varadero xl1000v Actually I'm selling my "old" custom bnc cables if you are interested just PM me.
