I thought I would try playing a couple of dsf files as minimstreamer is installed on the melco. Obviously not au fait with this but have tried to check the instructions and everything seems OK. Minim server is showing the file and the info on Kazoo indicates it as a WAV file which I assume is because it will be transcoded. So seems fine except all I can hear is silence. It is a beautiful quality silence of course but not a sound. I am using a 2 channel dsf sample from the Oppo site. I have tried a couple actually on 2 different DS but still no joy?

This is the only relevant setting I think in stream.transcode

dsf:dopwav, dff:dopwav

Guess I am being dumb but nothing new there? Can you point me at the silliness?

Are you using a Linn DS as a renderer? This doesn't support DSD playback, so it will interpret the transcoded DoP/WAV stream as if it were a WAV stream. If you listen carefully, you should hear a very faint sound.

To make this work, you need to use a DSD-capable renderer that understands DoP/WAV streams.
