DSD64 Multichannel files not playing

[Tom Schultz]

I've set the serverOptions property accordingly. The effect was exactly what you had predicted. Multichannel DSD-files (.dsf) now play on the SONY BRP. On the Pioneer 2-Channel DSD-files now no longer play.

I had bought the SONY for this purpose only, as I had not even expected the Pioneer to play 2-Channel DSD as it did. Now that I've seen both players in action, it's a pity the SONY would work and not the Pioneer. The Pioneer renders album covers beautifully on the TV while the SONY shows some tag contents and no cover art at all, basically the same as was shown when playing an SACD on another 15yr old Blu-ray player I have.

I will contact Pioneer support but am not holding my breath. Probably nobody ever even bothered to test this use case. The fact they did not have the AVR's Homeserver feature dlna-certified speaks for itself.

I'm glad it's working with MinimServer as it is way superior to the Synology media server. That one does not even show cover art for DSD-files in the control point app.

Thanks a lot for your help!
