The sound is stunning running BNC S/PDIF out into my Rega DAC. Oh, and I also have no problems playing back transcoded WAV 192/24 via MinimStreamer over a Wi-Fi bridge into a 100 Mbps connection (which is all the BDP-1 supports). Bryston uses the re-booted GMediaStreamer open source for UPnP playback, which flawlessly handles gapless playback. But, to be hones, I have disabled this component in my player and exclusively use MPD and a locally USB-attached SSD drive with my library. It just sounds better ... way better. As always, YMMV. |

I am interested to know more about a setup that plays music "way better" than "stunning". |

I have compared between MPD reading flac 16bit from NAS and DLNA renderer reading trancoded wav 24bit from the same flac 16bit file via minim server. The trancoded wav 24bit seems to sound better than the flac original file read from MPD. Can MPD server add the minim server transcoded wav 24bit into its library? Just curious on your configuration that achieve sounds that is way better via MPD. Thanks! |

Sorry... I mis-typed. The BDP-1 uses GMediaRender for DLNA playback. MPD is used for locally accessed content and for TIDAL playback, optionally. |

Honestly, I don't know if that's the case; I anecdotally believe the difference has more to do with MPD vs. GMediaRender, as opposed to the source of the audio data. I have read comments on other forums questioning the sound quality of GMediaRender. I've never looked at the code for either component, so I wouldn't be able to hazard a guess as to why. |
