MC 26.0.103 (32-bit) FINALLY playing DSD multichannel files properly!

Doesn't seem to be affected by anything but output format.
Are you using version MC 107 in your Raspberry? I'm curious that you had white noise.....maybe it was a setting somewhere.

My RPi4 is also on MC26 107. Are there any settings in particular you want to compare? I'd be glad to share my settings on the forum with you.

Sure. I think we are different setups. Are you using just a Raspi? I have the Raspi set up as a client. My desktop Mac is the Media Center Server and the music is on an external hard drive.
If you have the Raspi as the main server, that might be the difference. I could try that setup fairly easily ---

Yes on both questions: We have a different set-up, and I am using just the RPi4 as MC server and player.
IMHO it's definitely worth trying out the RPi4 as the server and player to see if it fixes the issue, especially if it's fairly easy to set up. Then our setups would be very close to being identical. FYI: I have my music files on a USB disk connected directly to the RPi4.

I too have all music on a USB hard drive.
My worry in the past was ---- I read somewhere that a power failure easily corrupts the Raspi SD card. And my mind said -- maybe it can also wipe a hard drive. But that's silly, isn't it? But just in case, I have backups of the hard drive and the SD card. So maybe I'll give it a shot today. I have to figure out how to transfer the library from the iMac to the Raspi
I can also run an optical from my Mac to my Marantz. I was thinking of trying that as well.
One of the best multi channel tunes I have is from an audio tuning CD. When you get finished setting up your speakers, they had a Jazz band playing "Struttin' with some BBQ" in 5.1 and I can't get the darn thing out of 2.1 no matter what I do.
But...one question....have you had any audio dropouts with the Raspi playing hi res music? Maybe two questions....do you leave it on 24/7?
Update: Just found out that Apple removed Toslink from newer desktops. You have to buy a $70 adapter which I'm not doing.

If you are doing this over DLNA to a raspi renderer you could choose to do the dolby encoding on either side I think.
On which side are you doing the encoding?
