I have the same 'problem' with minimserver. I have an Onkyo PR-SC5530 hooked up, with can process dsf, dff, dsd and sacd files without problem, unless the mimetype is set correctly for it to understand. ie. dsf=audio/dsf (without the 'x'). This works with the native synology media player. It is perhaps possible the I can set up a mimetype for dsf so that it won't be transcoded in minimserver but only the output is set to the specified mimetype?

Thumbs up for all the good work!

The audio/dsf MIME type is incorrect. The naming convention for MIME types is that types without the "x-" prefix must be registered in the IANA list. For unregistered type names, the "x-" prefix should be used.

It isn't possible to configure MinimServer to use a different MIME type. Most players support DoP (DSD over PCM) encapsulation of DSD audio data. Have you tried using MinimStreamer DoP/WAV transcoding for your DSF files?

Hi Simon,

Yes I have, I thought it didn't work. I'll try again. The strange thing is that my dac does supports dsf, but only if the mime is audio/dsf, weird. I'll come back with the results. Cheers.
