Problems with MC

Part two:

I gues you mean by WLAN -> WIFI and LAN -> Ethernet wired.

HiRes files usually don't play through WLAN, because of the high bitrate. JRiver has the option to transcode the original bitrate to a lower one. In that case WLAN doesn't give any problems. Check:

Options > Audio > Settings > DSP & audio output             then

select in DSP > Audio output

The sample rate gives you info about input bitrate and output bitrate. This is the transcoding when you play music. Check if the high outputs are downsized. This could explain the HiRes play on WLAN (WIFI)


The scenario where you play music on your wired streamer, from your wired NAS using a WIFI MAC, that is too technical for me. Perhaps someone else can explain.

blgentry:
While playing to your streaming device, you are probably transcoding to MP3.  Look at Player > Audio Path .  Look for the Output section near the bottom.  That will tell you what JRiver is sending to your audio device.  If, like I suspect, it is MP3, you can change that if you'd like:

Tools > Options > Add or configure DLNA Servers > (choose your profile here) > Audio > Mode > Original

Thank you both for your great help. Yes it was MP3 and now it is original and strange of all even the high-resolution files make their way with Wi-Fi from the iMac to the router which was never possible from the router to the streamer before. I guess it’s because of the difference of distance {1,5 to 10 m}.
The sound of the media center is great, somehow warmer than with the  Minim server, which I like most of the time but not always. The only thing about media center that I don’ t like is, that I have to keep my iMac running all the time. Unfortunately my NAS (QnapTS 253 A) is not compatible with  JRiver.
So I’m not sure yet, what I’m going to do, I’ll see.

Nice to hear you like the sound of JRiver. As already mentioned, there are lots of subtle changes to be made on the sound, so experiment with that.

As for the Mac Mini. If you have a pre 2013 Mac mini, use an energy scheme to shutdown the Mac mini during the night time. Post 2013 the Mac mini will go to a low energy state if not used. Mac mini,s usually don't use a lot of energy.

 I have an iMac 2011 and I have to tell the computer {not the Monitor} never to go to sleep, because it goes to sleep, Even when media Center 22 is running...
