Isn't that Roon doing the conversion before it gets anywhere near the Pro Plus?

"If you see a signal path like this, where the only thing going on is DSD->PCM conversion and (possibly) a subsequent sample rate conversion, it's almost certain that Roon is converting because it doesn't think your device can handle DSD directly:"
Ok. But when I connect Nucleus to ifi pro iDSD directly it shows DSD
Wiim Pro Plus can handle only PCM

It doesn’t support native DSD only up to 192/24. Wiim need to sort out their bad marketing as it’s confusing all users. Stating that the DAC supports DSD and higher PCM, when their software doesn’t and downsamples is not good practice.

That’s because the Wiim reports that’s all it supports which is correct. It also doesn’t support DoP so had no way of putting out via Spdif regardless.

I agree WiiM should make a clear statement as to what they’re doing about DSD support on the Pro Plus

For any DSP it will always convert to PCM so as it has a digital volume I imagine it always does, but setting to fixed should negate that.
Refund please

Speak to your retailer if that‘s the course you wish to take. I don’t think any of your fellow users here expect to pitch in
