How does one configure JRiver to actually play files in this format. I am using a Benchmark DAC3 B. What should the settings be set to in JRiver

[JimH]

It's no different from other formats.

How is the device connected?  USB? 

What happens if you try to play a file?

Enable DSD bitstreaming if connected via USB.

Yes USB. I have spent hours trying to figure out why my source file plays back magnificently,  a DSD 64 fs file but no other files on my windows version of MC31 will play, If I get everything else to play I lose the one that plays.

I am a tad old and remember olden times. If we were to discuss My final days with a  Nakamichi  (surely spelled wrong) Dragon cassette player I'd at least have a chance of understanding  but this problem is beyond me.

If I understand my computer with MC31 should be sending a signal to my DAC (Benchmark DAC3) That is supposed to convert the file into audio and then send it to my Prima Luna int amp.

All that works flawlessly until I get to a DSD file. Then everything stops. Up pops a notice telling me I have an error. I have perhaps a couple of dozen DSD files, almost all DSD 64 fs. If I can get one to work, why not the rest? And for that one file that works, why, if the next thing on my playlist is a 16/44 CD track does it refuse to play?

All that said, the one DSD file I have that does work sounds great.

Did that, no luck

You can try using MC's DSP Studio > Output format to convert everything to one format.  Switching isn't working somewhere along the way.

What are the model #'s of the Benchmark and Primaluna devices?  I added links in your prior post.

What type of files are they? .dsf? .dff? .dst? .wv? Something different? Mind uploading one that doesn't work to a site like Mega or Google Drive and sharing a link to test?

Benchmark DAC3B. The Prima Luna is an old but reliable Dialogue 2

I have semi solved my issue. I simply changed a single variable in the DSP studio and trying it. Doing that I ended up with a configuration that played all my files 24/192 or below and all but two of the DSD files worked.

If you have DSP Studio > Output Format > Output Encoding set to one of the DSD options, do know it's converting everything to DSD.
