DSDIFF+cuefile via DLNA to Oppo BDP-105 - can't stream individual tracks

<< < (4/4)

AndrewFG:
It is important to understand how UPNP functions.

It pushes one single media track URL at a time. If you have just one master media file containing many concatenated tracks, then it can only push that one master track URL, which can only play out as a single entity (without track based seeking).

If you want to play individual tracks, then MC would have to transcode the master file into individual temporary track media files, and push each of those temporary file URLs individually.

If your master media file was a DSD file, then MC would have to convert it to a temporary PCM file, then split that into the individual tracks in PCM format, then convert the PCM back to DSD before serving the individual tracks. You probably don't want it to do that. And indeed MC does not do that...

pepar:
Any more recent threads pick up this subject ... how best to play DSD in its purest/purist form with JRiver?  Is DLNA/Oppo still the best solution?
