It's clear that JRiver can do a ton of processing within a computer, up to the limits of the computer's sound card, but in all cases where I'm using JRiver to play music files, they are just being streamed to external DACs (iFi on my work laptop and her Chromebook, Oppo HA-1 on our home PCs).

So I really just need JRiver to do the streaming. No processing.

There are a bazillion toggles in JRiver's options. What do I need to set to shut off all processing and just stream?

Formats are DSD .iso, CD .ape, and some misc. DVD-Audio and Blu-ray audio tracks.

It's not hard - read:

Just turn off:

* Any volume adjustment

and

* Any conversion of output format

Excellent--thank you! I had it set correctly (it says no change, and the DSP icon is blue), but didn't know how to verify.

The blue icon verifies.

Just to be clear, you probably want to turn off resampling, but probably not disable the Output Format DSP entirely. I explain here:
