My Invicta Dac now accepts DoP DSD via SPDIF in. Tick>

The Olive One should see MinimServer as a uPnP server. Tick>

MinimServer should be able to serve up DSD files in the DoP WAV "container". Tick>

The Olive One should be able to stream these WAV files givin it is spec'd up to 24/192. Tick???

The DSD within these wav files should just play out fine via the Invicta because it is now DoP complicant. Tick??

Have I got my thinking straight here?

Am I going to finally be able to stream and hear stereo DSD this way via the Invicta> Tick???

Thanks

1) The specs for the Olive ONE say that it can play through USB to supported DACs only. Have you checked with Olive that this includes the Invicta?

2) I didn't see anything in the Olive ONE specs saying that it can stream 24-bit 176.4 kHz WAV files. This support is required for DoP streaming.

3) You should confirm with Olive that the Olive ONE is compatible with MinimServer. The chances of this are high, but interoperability problems between different UPnP devices are not unknown.

4) You should also confirm with Olive that the Olive ONE will pass through WAV files to the USB DAC output unchanged without doing any processing.

If 1) 2) 3) and 4) are all true, you should be able to play WAV files with DoP content to the Invicta using the Olive ONE. The Olive ONE won't be aware that these WAV files have DSD content, but the Invicta should be aware of this and should decode and play the DSD content correctly. It would be advisable to confirm with Olive that they don't foresee any problems with this scenario.
