a) - whether the firmware update has any minimserver impacts i.e. - requires anything extra actions to sustain the minimserver software or maybe even a new companion version etc.?

I realise its the holiday season and so this isn't super urgent from my perspective and I will just diarise it until I see a response. Many thanks in advance.

I updated recently to 2.20 without any problems.

Thanks Simon, I will do so today then to get it out of the way. (EDIT - ALL DONE! - THANKS)

Happy New Year to you and thanks for another excellent year of support. Smile

P.S. - not sure how hard it is for you to find out but if it is very easy for you at your end can you PM me the amount and date of my last 'contribution'. Time passes and the memory fades these days - oops! If it's a pain to do I will just keep looking through my statements. As I say much appreciated.

Anyone experiencing dropouts on DSD when driving a DAC direct via USB?

I have two DSD-capable USB DACs that I could use to try this. Is this happening with DSF or DFF and with DSD64 or DSD128? Is MinimServer configured to transcode to DoP/WAV?

Simon, they are dsf DSD64 files. I am using Melco's own DoP transcode facility, not your MinimStreamer version.

Can you try the MinimStreamer version of DoP/WAV transcoding to see if this fixes the problem?

I have a few DSD test files. They are only used for testing, not for listening, and I don't consider them part of my library.
