I have appropriate Minim server and Java running on the Synology. The Synology DS software does not recognize DSD.
I'm trying to follow the instructions for installing Minim Streamer but I'm really unsure on how this is accomplished?
I log into the Synolgy and I can see Minimserver is running version 0.8.2.
According to the instructions I should see some way of managing packages and Minim stream should be available to me . I do not see it either through the sinology management portal or through finder.

You need to launch MinimWatch and select Properties from the minim icon, then select the Packages tab of the Properties window. See this section for more information.

Quote:I have several DSD capable renderers including a CH Precison. Is this SW capable of displaying and rendering through a handheld device iPad? I'm kind of stuck and there is probably some thing I'm missing in this package?
So to recap I have a macbook pro I installed Minimserver on a Synology DS213, I have it on my ethernet. I want to render using the server and I cannot seem to locate and install Minim Streamer nor do I have a clear understadnig on how my iPad can be used as the interface. The Synology DS software does not recognize DSD files.

I tried DS Audio and it seems it can't play files served by a UPnP media server such as MinimServer.

It seems the CH Precision has an Ethernet connection for network streaming. This means you could connect it to your network and use an iPad app such as PlugPlayer to stream music to the CH Precision from MinimServer.

Another option would be to connect the CH Precision to a PC or Mac via USB and use UPnP rendering software on the PC or Mac to send DSD files from MinimServer to the CH Precision for playback. For example, you could use foobar2000 on a PC or PlugPlayer on a Mac.

With MinimStreamer installed and stream.transcode set to 'dsf:dopwav, dff:dopwav', your .dff and .dsf files will appear as if they are WAV files (even though they are not normal WAV files containing PCM data). The CH Precision would recognise that it is receiving a DoP/WAV stream containing DSD data and would do the necessary DSD decoding.
