Yes DLNA is the transport I use to stream DSD

My equipment although not the same is very similar to yours, I have an Oppo 203 bluray and a Marantz 7012 receiver.
I stream DSD to both devices because each has its own advantages, the 7012 supports gapless DLNA but not multichannel and the Oppo supports multichannel but not gapless.

You do not need to login when using DLNA, maybe you are thinking of accessing a network share from the Oppo?

--- Quote from: davewave on October 25, 2019, 04:36:22 pm ---Also, can I send output from an ISO file directly or do I need to decode the files to DSD of DFF or what have you first?  Also, can I send multichannel or only stereo?

--- End quote ---
Sending an ISO over DLNA does not work, you will need to extract the individual tracks as dsf files using something like iso2dsd.
JRiver DLNA does support multichannel but your renderer needs to support it too, your Marantz is stereo only but your Oppo should support it (my 203 does).

The settings to make DSD work are straight forward under Tools>Options>Media Network>Add or configure DLNA server> create a server where Audio Mode is set to Original and make sure under Advanced > Bitstream DSD is NOT ticked (this setting repacks the DSD as DoPE which neither of our devices supports, we need native DSD). Then under Playing Now right click your devices (Marantz and Oppo) and under Associate with DLNA server pick this new server.
You can get more precise later using Specified output format only when necessary instead of Original but I would recommend getting it working like this before making things more complicated.

That was super helpful to me and I suspect many others.  Thank you again

When you output audio from the HTPC via DLNA what is the input source on the Marantz?  Thanks.

You don't use a standard input source. You select HEOS Music and then select Music Servers. JRiver Media Center should show up as a music server.
