At my workplace at home I have a desktop USB DAC and headphone amp.

DAC<-PC with MC client<-Server with MC server

In the classical client server architecture of MC: Playing a DSD track, MC load's the file from the server to the PC into memory. For DSD 512 tracks its annoying to wait that a 5GB or 10 GB file is loaded into memory on the PC over the network.

What I want to achieve is that I could control the server from the PC client, DSD file is loaded into memory on the server and also the DSD to PCM conversion is done on the server and only the audio stream is send to the PC client and the PC client route's it to the USB DAC.

I tried several things but I don't get it working.

I came to the point:
Created a local zone on the PC client named USB | DAC,  do a MS RDP connection to the server, create a DLNA server (Name e.g. DLNA PC Renderer) on the server, associate the DLNA Server to the remote zone USB | DAC and play from the server to the PC client.

But I want to avoid to control that process through a RDP connection to the server. I want to control it from the PC client instance of MC.

How to do that?

Don't use memory playback if the network or machines aren't fast enough.

Thank's Jim - I had the same idea after a wrote the entry  . It works.
