Thanks to you both, I am now also able to play the dash stream on an Oppo BDP-103. This was enabled by amending the .m3u entry to include the flac audio type.

Listened to last nights prom and I was able to easily distinguish the non-compressed stream. An excellent result.

ps - just a couple of minor glitches towards the end of the concert.

pps - Simon, what does the prefixed asterisk to the stream ID signify? I could find no mention of it in the user guide.

Regards.
