DSD64 Multichannel files not playing

[Tom Schultz]

Hello,
I’m in the early stages of finding my way through playing DSD Multichannel files on my 5.1 setup and haven‘t yet been successful using MinimServer.

I’ve recently installed MinimServer on my Synology NAS, which I primarily use to host PCM and DSD files, both 2 Channel and Multichannel. In my living room I‘ve just installed a new AVR with a DSD-capable DAC (Pioneer VSX-LX305) in a 5.1 configuration, together with a SONY UBP-X800M2 Blu-ray player.

The Pioneer isn‘t DLNA-certified, still it plays 2 Channel DSD64 files. When I try to play Multichannel files, though, I get an error message. The SONY BRP plays neither 2- nor Multichannel from MinimServer.

For testing I also installed the Synology Media Server on the NAS. From that media server Multichannel files play on the SONY, but not the Pioneer.

Would anybody know what I‘m doing wrong or what configuration step is missing with MinimServer to get Multichannel DSD-files to play?

I use mconnect for iOS as a control point.

Thanks a lot
