Hello,

Can MinimServer transcode *iso SACD, CD clones?Smile

Thank you
MinimServer doesn't read .iso files (CD images). You need to convert the .iso file to individual track files.

And technically can't be upgrade that technology.?..

Like:
- extract the DSD tracks from the ISO
- convert them to DoP
- stream them


So Many users has audio iso files...I had Eversolo DMP-A8 in the pas -Android, readed everythingSmile...
I understand why you might want to play an entire recording from an ISO file, but Minimserver is clearly not set up for this. I have ripped many SACDs to ISO, then stored that file for future use after generating individual DSF files for playback. There is a ton of info and software to facilitate this at https://www.sonore.us/iso2dsd.html

To add to this, you can tweak the metadata of the resulting DSF files using MP3tag https://www.mp3tag.de/en/ This can be helpful not only for artwork, but for identifying multi movement pieces.

The only advantage I can see of playing a full ISO is if your DAC cannot play DSD audio without a gap or pop between tracks. DSF files have many advantages otherwise.
