Title: Output via DLNA
Post by: ptman on December 29, 2010, 10:39:43 am

I'm streaming to a UPnP device (high-end music player) through DLNA via MC15

I notice a diminished sound quality vs my CD player.

Does the streamed music pass through my PC sound card prior to streaming, or is it streamed native (or with only the selected MC15 DSP attributes applied) as it would be passed to a sound card?

Thank you.

Can you provide more details?   

In some cases, MC may convert audio, but the details might help.

Please read about DLNA on our wiki.

Thanks, Jim.

I'm streaming FLAC. MC15 is running under Windows7.

My Audio in Tools>Options is set to WASAPI, and Device is set to Realtek Digital Output, and "Open device for Exclusive Access"

My Media Network settings include:
- Library Server unchecked
- Library Server Client>Audio Conversion: Conversion = Don't convert; Encoder = Uncompressed stream

DLNA Server checked and Audio Conversion = Never convert; Encoder = Uncompressed Stream; Advanced = Volume leveling Off; Sample rate same as source

DLNA Renderer and DLNA Controller both checked.

Device streaming to is T+A MP1260.

Thanks again.
