Clicks and sound interruptions

First of all, I will answer Brian, because here everything is more or less clear to me. Indeed, my iMac is connected to the Web via Wi-Fi, and Teac NT505 is connected to the router with a cable (LAN). But after all, both iMac and Teac provide data buffering and checking to ensure their transmission is continuous and error-free. Or am I wrong? Or maybe I don’t have the necessary settings in the JRiver and I just don’t have enough data transfer speed on the network? But all this can manifest itself in breaks in sound reproduction, but clicks do not depend on this. However, I will think about how to ensure that the iMac is connected to the network by wire (LAN).
Now for Bob's answer.
Unfortunately, I lack a general understanding of how the JRiver works and how the program interacts with the computer when I connect the iMac via the Network.
Yes, I don't need sound from the computer as this is my business place in another room. I need the data of music files that are on an external SDD, which are sent to Teac. And I control the program in the music room using a tablet via JRemote.
I understand that I did not properly configure the DLNA server and do not understand how to configure them correctly. I would be grateful if you could advise.
When I connected the iMac to Teac via USB, everything was easier - I chose Core Audio and Integer Mode and everything worked perfectly. But I don't want to have another computer next to the musical equipment, if JRiver and Teac allow switching over the Network with the maximum quality of data and sound transmission. I hope that you will help me set up the system correctly.
When you ask about firmware version 1.53, which device are you talking about?
Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the detailed information.
The USB connection is always easier, the protocol over the network is much more complex.
When I referred to the firmware version 1.53 that is what I saw on the TEAC website for your renderer. It may not be necessary. We'll check your DLNA server settings in MC first.
Assuming the TEAC can play every format, sample rate and bit depth you can throw at it, the place you want to go in MC is:
Tools->Options->Media Network->Add or configure DLNA servers...
This determines how MC sends tracks to your TEAC.
Assuming there is only one server configured (the default), please make sure that the Audio mode is set to "Original"
Are you having issues with a particular format from your source?
Just to be clear, when you trigger track playback via JRemote the track goes from the external drive into MC then on to the TEAC.

Hi Bob.
Regarding the firmware on Teac, I think that this should not affect, but I installed the latest one about a year ago. I will check and update if needed. At least Teac worked fine with the previous version of JRiver (MC25).
According to the settings, I am attaching a photo of some of them. I hope that you will tell me where and what options to choose.
Yes, I had a problem listening to the ISO file because I couldn't figure out which settings to set. By the way, even the folder with this file was not visible through JRiver until I dragged it from the finder window to the JRiver window. But the file cannot be played in Cor Audio mode (picture attached). It only starts if I select Null output. I don't understand how to set it up correctly.
Listening to files in the FLAC and DSD format did not cause problems, except for the clicks that led to the power amplifier turning off due to the protection operation. It seems to me that this happened precisely when listening to DSD files.
Regards,
Veniamin

Please take a look at this thread for ideas about the problem:

I suspect the OP is trying to use Core Audio to play to his Teac via airplay or something else that the Mac OS is connected to. Not directly DLNA from MC. Otherwise, we would not a see an error message about DoP not working over Core Audio.
We probably need to see a screenshot of Player > Audio Path to be sure what the output actually is.
A screen shot of Player > Zone might also help.
Brian.
