DSD64 Multichannel files not playing

[simoncn]

Some renderers don't accept the industry standard MIME types for DSF and DFF files. This is probably the reason why your Sony renderer can't play the 2-channel files but your Pioneer renderer can play these files.

This post indicates that some Sony renderers need the nonstandard MIME type audio/dsd to work correctly. To configure MinimServer to send this MIME type for both DSF and DFF files (your post doesn't say which of these you are using), set the serverOptions property to this:

mimeType.dsf=audio/dsd, mimeType.dff=audio/dsd

If this works for playing DSD files on the SONY renderer, it is likely (from your results when using the Synology server) that it will prevent these files from working on the Pioneer. This is an unfortunate consequence of SONY's decision not to support industry standard MIME types for DSD files.

I think the problem you are having with multichannel files on the Pioneer has some other cause. Perhaps another user with a similar setup can comment on this.
