I use JRiver 18 for audio and nothing else. I stream from my PC to a PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC in my main system. It would be wonderful to apply RG at the JRiver end of the Network so playlists don't have the huge swings in gain when played back on the DAC. If I live long enough, PSA have assured me that, one day, the DAC will be able to read the RG tags and make the necessary adjustments. However, it is not on their shortlist and they have bigger fish to fry (their words). Is there a way to do this? Will you guys ever do it? I have tried Volume Leveling at the DLNA config. page of Network Configuration but it does not sound any good (to me) so I am left running to my volume control when something loud come on. 'twould be nice!

In Media Network, set conversion to 'Always convert' and pick '24-bit PCM'.  Then enable volume levelling.

This uses the PC to decode and apply Replay Gain, and sends the output at 24-bit.

Thanks Matt.. so I go to add or configure DLNA server> audio: always convert> encoder: there are four uncompressed options: L16-no header/24bit-LPCM-no header/uncompressed/uncompressed 24bit..I take it you mean the latter. I tried 24bit LPCM-no header but that would not work. Then I apply volume leveling but no stereo mix down?   OK?  I tried something like that once before (on an earlier build) & I didn't like the sound. I will give it another go as you say and have another listen..thanks again
