It isn't possible to configure MinimServer to use a different MIME type. Most players support DoP (DSD over PCM) encapsulation of DSD audio data. Have you tried using MinimStreamer DoP/WAV transcoding for your DSF files?

Simon, just for my understanding :

1) none of the now usual audio file format (flac dsf etc.) is registered in the iana. So proper mime type is audio/x- flac audio/x-dsf etc.

2) I have transformed an iso from my sacd to DSF files using ISO2DSD and I see (using command file -I on Mac OSx terminal) that the mime type is application/octet-stream and not audio/x-dsf

3) I think I got it : the mime type is not embeded in the file as I thought, but it is the server which decides to propagate it, or the OS which decides according to the file type...

4) shall I conclude that minimserver defines the mime type when streaming the file according to the file extension (in that case .dsf) and not according to the content ?

Am I correct ?

Thx
