Title: Feature Request: Max DSD Bitstreaming over DLNA
Post by: muzak78 on December 13, 2024, 10:43:37 pm
I have a feature request for streaming DSD over DLNA.  It would be great if the "Add or Configure DLNA Servers" dialog box had a feature similar to the "Bitstreaming" Custom dialog box under Audio where one can choose "bitstream all DSD sample rates" or "up to DSD<rate>."

As a use case, I have an A&K SE300, which can stream up to DSD256.  I have a handful of DSD512 files.  When the device is connected via USB, I can use the custom bitstreaming to limit to a max of DSD256.  When playing DSD512, it downsamples.  All other sample rates (all PCM, DSD64, 128, and 256) process as-is.

When I instead use the device over DLNA, I cannot achieve the same functionality.  I can either stream with mode "original", but then DSD512 won't play; only DSD256 and lower.  If I change mode to "specified output only when necessary", I hit a few issues.  For one, I can limit the 'when necessary' to DFF or DSF files, but then the rule applies to all DSD files, not merely DSD512.  If I choose format as "DSF", it seems to default to DSD64 across the board and DSP studio has no effect.  If I choose a PCM option, I get various options via DSP studio, but none are as clean or easy as the custom bitstreaming option under the Audio options.

Is there a chance this can be added as a feature either to MC32 or MC33?  Or, if I am missing an obvious configuration option, please do tell me.

Thank you!

Bumping as I'm curious if this could be accepted as a feature request.  Or, if I need to redirect to a different thread, please let me know.
