Thank you for your prompt reply, Jim. I was able to get set up per your restore page. It was up and running for a few minutes, but playing all files in 44.1.
I changed the Audio Device setting under tools from "Default Audio Device [Direct Sound]" to "Chord Async USB ...", as well as all other options, and still no audio at all, and no light on the Chord Qute EX DAC I have connected up.
I understand that this DAC is not the most friendly unit with PC audio, and I have had similar things occur with MC in the past. I don't recall the fix, but maybe you could help.
The DAC has ultimately played successfully with MC for months now, but not so with Roon, hence my decision to re-up to your 24 today. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer. "Sound" settings on the computer are also checked and are fine.
