multi channel audio from MC27 to Marantz SR-7007

(1/8) > >>

HaWi:
I have a Marantz SR-7007 which is capable of receiving PCM, DSD multichannel input, as well as DTS 5.1 and many others. I have attached a screenshot from the SR-7007 manual describing input and output options.
I am trying to find a way to play multichannel audio from MC using DLNA or Airplay but neither work for me. I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong or I am missing something. Is DLAN not able to do this? The AVR can play BluRay via HDMI, so How can I get the signal from my iMac to the AVR's HDMI. Do I need a separate DAC between my iMac and the AVR?
Is there anyone who knows the SR-7007 to help?
The closest I got was playing DTS but it sounds like a record played at too slow a speed.
I suspect this is probably not nearly enough information but I have close to zero knowledge about these things and appreciate any help.

HaWi:
I managed to play .dsf files from MC27 to my Marantz SR-7007 with the DSP settings as shown in the screenshot below. Format is set to LPCM/16. This is done with DLNA (Audiophile 24-bit DAC).
However, I cannot get it to play more than 2 channels. Is there a way to do that?
Many thanks for any help.

I don't think that DSD in DoP format is used for DSP studio in DLNA server settings.
I see you have it set to 2 channels out though.
You might try "source number of channels"

Had one before the hdmi board went out.

If I remember I selected 5.1 channels, No upmixing or downmixing, Output Encoding none. Then I had the Output Format box unchecked (which makes the unit and its dac do all the work).  It has a good dac and should process the channels correctly.

What gets people hung up a lot of times is thinking they have to let Media Center do all the lifting.  The Marantz receiver will do this.  You can still use Volume Leveling, effects, equalizer, etc. from Media Center without using the Output Format.

Think you can also do this by selecting Output encoding and selecting Dolby Digital if you prefer that, but am not sure.  In this case you would check the box for Output Format.

Hawi is trying to do DLNA. And what formats a device will do over HDMI are not necessarily the same as what it will do over DLNA.

None of those things work over DLNA unless MC transcodes the audio.

Hawi, you should check to see exactly what that device will do over DLNA specifically.
