Roon displays the HQPlayer rather than the Ayre QX-5 and the sound is from the iMac rather than via ethernet to the Ayre setup. HQPlayer seems to run as a separate zone. If I select the Ayre QX-5 it sends a signal via the ethernet and turns on the Ayre setup, but I suspect without going through the HQPlayer. Both show they're playing the Goldberg variations. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what?

First, I am assuming that both options not only display that you are playing the Goldbergs but actually do play them through the rest of your system and make sound.

It seems that you have two different ways for Roon to send music to the Ayre, directly or via HQP. You should be able to distinguish them by seeing the processing changes of HQP on the Ayre's display and, hopefully, by a difference in the sound. Choose which you prefer.
