Laptop Specifications To Play DSD Files

<< < (5/13) > >>

Awesome Donkey:
In that case, it sounds like the NAS and perhaps the network is the bottleneck here. You can verify this by copying some DSD256 files from the NAS to the local drive of your PC, then import them into Media Center and try to play them. If the local DSD256 files play without buffering then it's 100% your NAS and/or network.

Hi AD, thanks for the suggestion, I copied 1 Flac 192 KHz 24 bit and 1 DSD 256 to a folder and imported to MC but still buffing, I have a Linn DSM 3 and although it does not support DSD it plays all my Flac files with no problem, did you look at my screen shots of the MC setup ? have I set it up correctly ?

Thanks for all help
Steve

Is the folder on a local drive?  (inside your computer)

Hi Jim,
I have my music files on a Qnap nas to access from my Microsoft Surface 3 Laptop, but to test AD's suggestion I copied the 2 files direct from a PC hard drive to a usb stick then plugged that into my laptop to import into MC, I've attached some image of the ATC CDA 2 setup for JRiver which is how I set the laptop up, I had an answer from ATC they think it's a laptop setup problem ?

Thanks for any help
Steve

JimH:
Playing the files from a USB stick isn't the same as playing from an internal drive, but did it still buffer?  If so, copy them to the hard disk inside the PC and try there.
