Once I knew I had to split my ISOs it was by trial and error that I found the correct setting for the bitstream box, even though it felt counter intuitive to untick the only reference to DSD over DLNA.

It turns out the reason streaming DSD over DLNA was not working for me was because all my SACDs were stored as ISO files instead of individual DSF files and all my devices support native DSD not DoPE. When I first tried to stream DSD over DLNA it did not work for me, while trying to figure out why I came across no other reference to DSD over DLNA so I assumed ticking the box was the only way to make it work.Įven with the new wording in brackets I did not know at the time if that was how my devices worked with DSD I just knew they supported DSD over DLNA. If not, have you associated the correct DLNA Server with the Marantz DLNA Renderer?Īs I recall the reference to DoPE in brackets has not always been there, it used to just say Bitstream DSD. I think.ĭo you only have one DLNA Server set up in MC? You said that you have audio mode set to "original" when using the Miinimserver, but what about when you are using the MC Server? Specifically, do you have "Original" selected in "Options > Media Network > Add or configure DLNA server > Audio > Mode > Original"?īecause that is the setting that tells the MC DLNA Server to send the DSF file in original format (DSD Native) to the Marantz SR6013, which should then play it fine. Okay, so you are using a MC DLNA Server then.

If I don't have my laptop open in front of me, I use either Kinsky or BubbleDS on the Nexus 7.Ah, I should have realised that you are still playing to the Marantz via DLNA, and you are just using local files, but the Marantz is remote, and not connected via HDMI, or USB (bit it looks like the SR6013 only has a USB input on the front panel, not suitable for connection from a PC).Īre you running MC on a Mac or a PC? This is very important. Most of the time, I use Kinsky on Windows. Specifically, the display colour calibration is poor, and the built-in DAC is noticeably inferior to the DAC in my iPod. My Nexus 7 works well as a control point, but it's not as good as the Apple hardware in some respects. I've decided not to buy an iPad because of the proprietary Apple world-view issue. Quote:Would I get better results using a tablet as the remote? If so, would I be better off with an iPad? I dislike Apple's hyper-proprietary worldview, but it seems that many of the better apps of this type are available only for iThings. I presume you've tried BubbleUPnP, which might not work as well as BubbleDS.
What problems? BubbleDS is working well on my Nexus 7. (27-02-2013 18:29)Mike48 Wrote: What do other MinimServer users favor as control-point apps? As devices to run them?

I dislike Apple's hyper-proprietary worldview, but it seems that many of the better apps of this type are available only for iThings. I have tried Bubble, but I had constant problems. I have tried Kinsky, but I can't get the entire title to display. That would be a reason to switch, or maybe to try it on a more capable device (Android tablet?). However, in my setup, UPnPlay crashes at least once per listening session, losing the current play queue. It is irritating to have the title cut off after the beginning of a work's name, before the movement information. This is especially important in classical music, where the trackname (title) tags can be long.

Unlike the other CPs I've tried, it displays full information on tracks (playing or queued). What do other MinimServer users favor as control-point apps? As devices to run them?
