Can't see what's going on from the top. Gotta go all the way.

Insufficient humidity could also be an possible cause. This time of year when heaters come one can be problematic humidity-wise

Trust me, Masdevallias are very hardy if you get the right ones for your growing area.
The super cool growing ones from 2,600 m on up is a big no-no for most people in the US.
Fortunately, most Masdevallias don't grow that high up. Only a few do. Most are cool to intermediate growing.
I just repotted a few about a couple weeks ago. None of them are dead or dying.

Just thought of a question for you to answer...
If the plant's roots were rotting, where do you think it would show the first signs of rotting?
a.) The part of the root that is closest to the plant.
b.) The part of the root that is furthest away from the plant (i.e. the root tips).

Watch it to see what happens. Maybe it was a humidity issue as well.
