MIME Type DSF and DFF
Hi all,

I have a SOTM streamer going into an USB bridge and then into a DSD capable dac.
Understand for Minimserver to stream native DSF files - it is required to specify in the serverOptions the following value: mimeType.dsf=audio/x-dsd

First things first - I think the minimserver website got the example wrong. Wrong value being specified. See below. Secondly - after specifying the correct value - my streamer still receive PCM streams even though I play dsf files. Any way to have DSF file stream natively as DSD without being automatically converted into PCM by minimserver? I am running Minimserver on a synology NAS if it makes any difference

[Custom MIME types [NEW]
You can use the mimeType.dsf and mimeType.dff options of the serverOptions property to set custom MIME types for streaming DSF and DFF files in native format (i.e., without DoP/WAV transcoding). This customization is required to play DSF and DFF files on some Sony and Onkyo renderers that don't support the industry standard MIME types (audio/x-dsf and audio/x-dff) for these streams.

For each of these options, the value is the custom MIME type that you want MinimServer to send. For example, to make MinimServer send the MIME type audio/x-dsd for all native DSF streams, you can specify minimType.dsf=audio/x-dsd in the serverOptions property. You can specify any value to be used as the MIME type and MinimServer will send the exact value that you specify.

You should only set these options if you are having problems playing DSF and DFF files on your renderer. It's a good idea to ask on the MinimServer forum for advice about whether you should set these options and what values you should specify for the custom MIME types.]
