Roon 1.3

[RoadDawgWest]

Was looking through the roon community site, and found information on the roon 1.3 release.
The roon community site provided a link to Digital Audio Review that outlines the details.
Includes some nice enhancements. I particularly am interested in the ability to review the cover art, and pdf from digital downloads within roon, and the headphone cross feed.
Slated for release by end of January 2017

With the release of Roon 1.3 with Multichannel playback now available, Roon and NativeDSD Music have two promotions to celebrate.
They offer a 30 day free trial of Roon 1.3 (usually a 14 day free trial) and a new Roon DSD Sampler in Stereo DSD and Multichannel DSD.

"Roon Labs has released Roon 1.3 which now includes Multichannel DSD playback! Just the thing to enjoy the over 860 Multichannel DSD albums at the Native DSD Music store.

To celebrate, Roon and NativeDSD have partnered to bring you two exciting offers. First, visit the new Roon and NativeDSD page on the NativeDSD web site (see link below) for an offer code that will let you try Roon 1.3 for 30 days at no cost.

Second, a new Roon DSD Sampler is now available from NativeDSD Presents. It has 5 excellent selections from the NativeDSD collection in both DSD Stereo and DSD Multichannel with artists including Breno Viricimo and Friends on Just Listen, Joachim Eijlander on NAVIS Classics, New Amsterdam Voices on Just Listen, David Elias on Sketti Sandwich Productions and the BFO - Budapest Festival Orchestra conducted by Iván Fischer on Channel Classics Records. You can pick up both editions of the sampler album for 6.60 Euros using our ST+MCH deal. Roon owners can pick up a code from the Roon Team to add the album to your collection at a further savings.

Experienced an issue where DSD files would not play back in Roon 1.3
Just spent an hour trying to figure this out. Then I realized I enabled the headphone cross feed in Roon 1.3 Switching this off allowed DSD tracks to playback again.
It appears the headphone cross feed only works PCM files and not DSD.

From a user experience perspective it would have been nice to notify theuser when a DSD file is selected it will not play when the headphone cross feed is enabled.
