Thanks for this information
If you know, when setting dopwav as the output, what makes the output setting to wav 24/176? (Seen on my control point)
Assuming my streamer could accept 32/384, would it be possible to set output to wav32;352 to get as close as possible to the original DSD source?
Im interested to get as close as possible for best sound quality.
Many thanks in advance

Anton, my understanding is that dopwav is not like transcoding from one format to another but a packaging format to enable a bitstream to be sent as pcm over ethernet. The streamer reinstates the bitstream so you should have full resolution of the DSD source.
Donna.

The information from Donna is correct. The control point is seeing the DoP/WAV stream as 24/176 because 24/176 is the packaging format required by DoP for a DSD64 file. This can't be changed to any other value and it doesn't mean that the DSD data played by the streamer is 24/176.

Thank you both. That makes sense now.
That explains why I could hear a difference when using DoP as the output.
