External Streamer and Hegel H590

[Projectman]

When streaming DSD files from Roon to the Hegel H590 DAC (Ethernet) they are downsampled to 176K PCM. If I buy an external streamer (like a Lumin U1 Mini) connected to the USB port on the H590, (which supports DSD playback up to DSD256) will I be able to stream to the Hegel using Roon with the source being a Lumin U1 Mini (or similar) and get a full DSD playback through the 590?

Yes. Looks like the 590 Ethernet input is limited but the USB will allow the higher resolution and Roon will not be an issue unless there is some setting not correct.

I have a friend who uses one of the Roon renderers and he streams upsampled signals up to 512 but I don't think the 590 allows that high.
