This is very strange. BubbleUPnP can push Native DSD from the Serviio server to the STR-DN1080, which proves the STR-DN1080 capability.
MC should have "Bitstream DSD (requires DoPE compliant renderer)" turned off, which was Depechefan's original setting, and it should have just worked, as long as Audio was set to "Original".
If you turn on "Bitstream DSD (requires DoPE compliant renderer)" then you are sending the DSD file in DoPE format, and you
must have the MC volume set to 100%, or else you will just get a hiss or white noise. But I'm not sure that the STR-DN1080 supports DSD over DoPE anyway, so that may not work. Note that normal audio devices have a setting of "Maximize device volume during playback", but DLNA servers do not, so you must manually maximise the volume in MC. Maybe that could be improved in future?
Andrew the Mime Type Override at the bottom of the "Advanced" settings group only applies to video by the look of it. Hopefully, there is no spillover into audio.
I have experienced some issues with DLNA settings changes not seeming to take effect, particularly if I haven't set them and then OK'd my way completely out of the dialogue. The obvious example in the "Display name" of the DLNA server, which doesn't change in the top list until the DLNA configuration dialogue has been closed and reopened. Maybe try turning off "Bitstream DSD (requires DoPE compliant renderer)", setting Audio to any "Specified Output Format", saving that by OKing out of the dialogue, then reopen the dialogue and set it to "Original", OK out again and test DSD Push playback to the STR-DN1080.
Also Depechefan, do you have a OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox or other account that you could put a Wireshark log on, so that Andrew could see the whole thing? (Sorry to dob you in Andrew
) It seems a waste of time to keep requesting screenshots.
I would appreciate knowing if the Sony STR-DN1080 is capable of Native DSD playback from MC, as that may well be one of my options in the future. I tend to buy Sony gear, though I can't think why really, and their manuals are just awful so it is hard to know what they are really capable of.
JRiver: It would be great if the DLNA Server dialogue was resizable, at least vertically, so that a user could expand all sections and the dialogue, and hence post a screenshot of all settings in one go. It would help with this sort of user support a lot. It has been a problem in lots of past threads. There seems to be no reason not to allow dialogues to be resizable. Thanks.
