So, is Kinsky not 'fully compatible' with Minimserver?

To stream DSD files to the Chord DSX, you need to install MinimStreamer and enable 'dopwav' transcoding. See this page for details of how to do this.

You will also need to use a different control point. Kinsky looks at the list of MIME types that the renderer advertises that it supports. Because of a Chord firmware bug, this list doesn't include audio/x-wav, so Kinsky won't stream the transcoded 'dopwav' stream to the Chord.

To answer your question: Kinsky is fully compatible with MinimServer, but it is not fully compatible with buggy renderers that don't advertise the correct set of MIME types.
