I need help to setup my systems based on SOTM-sms 100 feeding an Audio-GD NFB Dac by USB. The dac is with ESS Sabre 9018 DSD capable.
Playing PCM files is trouble free, but if I try a dsf file, I can see that the file is played but there is no sound!
I have tried with Logitech Media Server 7.9 with the DSD player plugin activated and the file type sate to native and dsdplay on LMS server side. On the SOTM side I have tried different values for the buffer and period count with squeeze lite activated without success :-(

I have also tried with minimserver combined with minimstreamer and the parameters dsf:dopwav and dff:dopwav, still no sound with dsf files.
What am I missing?
After few testing found that you can hear the sound but the volume level is very very low!Even to hear this, I have to almost set the volume knob on the preamp to the max and put ms ears very close to the speakers! Weird!
I have attached 2 log files, if they can help. these error messages are repeated in the entire log file
Thanks in advance

The error messages are caused by corruption in the FLAC file you are playing.

The low-level sound means that your renderer doesn't recognise the DoP/WAV format. Instead, it is playing the stream as if it were a WAV PCM stream.

Have you tried removing the dsf:dopwav and dff:dopwav settings and restarting MinimServer? This will send a native DSD stream to the renderer.
