I have been asking for awhile about this and understand there are impediments, but this is something I really would use. I only use MC to stream now, and I can’t upsamble to DSD256 over DLNA. I can do so when connected to the same DAC by USB and I can stream native DSD as DSD, but, over the network, I am limited to PCM in the DSP Studio.
Two thoughts:
(1). It can be done over a network. Roon, which I otherwise despise, can do it easily, and Audirvana does it, albeit with high CPU usage and some quirks, like moving on to the next track prematurely. I understand that neither technically is DLNA, but I can’t imagine that it’s network architecture that would prevent JRiver from implementing if it were inclines to do so.
(2). Network setup appears to offer DSD upsampling as part of the process of setting up the server, but selecting DSD from the pick list doesn’t enable that upsampling. If JRiver can’t or won’t get that option to list, it should be absent from the pick list or grayed out.
Also, I too would like the search function on JRemote2 to be universal rather than a search of the view then on the screen. I keep the defunct eos app around just because it does offer a universal search function.
