Hello,
I currently have JRiver installed in a container on my QNAP NAS.
I 'push' to an Oppo-105D. Mostly using the JRemote. I have a lot of DSD multi-channel files.
As has been said often, the Oppo doesn't play gapless. This is OK for most music. But not for a lot of classical. And some rock/pop.
The question is. Is there a DLNA streamer that does work with JRiver, and does play gapless DSD (and other format) files?
And which doesn't break the bank.
Regards,
Andrew

A good option might be the JRiver Id.
Cambridge Audio Network players have supported this for a few years now. Can be a bit pricey but you might be able to get a CXN (V1) within budget as they have been superceded by the V2.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
As I already have the QNAP NAS, I don't believe I need the JRiver Id.
But with respect to the Cambridge player...is that multi channel? A quick look at it's website (https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/en/products/hi-fi/cx-series-2/cxn (https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/en/products/hi-fi/cx-series-2/cxn)) makes me think it is stereo only.
The only example of a multi-channel streamer I've come across is the exasound. But then you are talking serious money.
Regards,
Andrew

Not actually sure re the multichannel, I have the same streaming module in my CXR receiver and it can certainly decode multi but it may have some extras built in. I’ll see what I can find.
Also I think the CXNV1 could only play DSD from a USB connection but the V2 can stream it, however it decodes to PCM to process. Not sure if this is a deal breaker for you.
I believe the JRiver ID would act as a renderer for your QNAP, so the 2 would compliment each other. Again though I believe to play multi channel DSD it has to be HDMI connected, or at least that uses to be the case, may be different now.
