Only problem is that WavPack is not widely spread out (it is part of the FFmpeg and as such easy available on many platforms but that isn't really enough). Combining lossy and correction files you get original bit perfect Wav back. In comparison to rav DSD bit stream that would be 4~5x compression. Where you can get 50~33% (depending on source complexity) smaller output file for HiFi 88200~96000 Hz 24 bit (or above) than Flac while not being able to hear the difrence and having rest stored in correction file. WavPack is very interesting in lossy hybrid mode with corestion (restore) graph. You can and should cut obove 35 KHz on DSD output. Flac is WAV with data compression, WavPack daos compression part better (better than both Flac and Apple losseles) but it's not widely present. ![]() Keeping the same in Flac saves you more than half storage space (2x compression). Meaning you don't really need to keep it as DSD bit stream on your storage device. I stated already that conversion is (exact) bit perfect. TL DR: 24/88 is probably fine.ĮSS has a complex DSD design including physical separate and better authended line. Here's a thread on comparable DSD and PCM formats. ultrasonic noise is at best irrelevant and at worst detrimental to following stages, and it's not helping lossless compression one bit. You may actually want to not go overboard with target sample rate for this particular reason. Synchronous resampling at high quality is not a major challenge these days, and target sample rates tend to be so high as to be covering frequencies far beyond the audible range, so everything removed would only be shaped noise anyway. If the playback setup involves a ground loop in unbalanced cabling, all bets are off. Transcoding might be discarding / ignoring ReplayGain information, which would result in a level difference. Rockbox on ARM decodes it around 3 times as fast as MP3, at around 8 MHz for realtime. FLAC was literally designed to be as lightweight as possible on the decoding side, with speeds of 425x-450x on a 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo T9600. So I can't believe it has anything to do with my setup/equipment given I am able to stream fine with both Plex and MinimServer.There has to be another explanation. ![]() Thank You.Just to add, I tried Plex Server and while I have other issues with Plex, the DSD playback works just fine from track to track. If there is no troubleshooting that can be done on this, can you please advise how I would request a refund as I need to be able to stream DSD and unfortunately, Asset UPnP is of no use without DSD playback. The Mac which Asset UPnP runs on, is hard wired ethernet into the router. I have also tried both n and G networks from the iPhone to the router in the same room. ![]() 1080p movies with surround stream just fine and again, no issues with streaming with MinimServer. I know I don't have any Wi-Fi related issues, as everything works just fine and I even purchased a new Wi-Fi router in the hope it would solve this issue. ![]() Thanks for confirming Spoon and it may be a good idea to put something on the product page to suggest that DSD over Wi-Fi is not fully supported - I don't experience this issue at all with MinimServer, as it plays flawlessly. So a little progress in that the app is seeing the streamed file in better quality, but its not handling playback as it should, which is where I was at with the free version but my assumption, was that this issue was due to it being the free version?!?! DSF files as DOP which didn't seem to help, and kills the audio playback with harsh sounding noise playback.Īny guidance/help would be appreciated as this is not working out for me as much as I would love it to, but MinimServer still seems to process and stream things better from what I am experiencing.ĮDIT/UPDATE: Just restarted UPnP on my Mac and now the DSD files show with the following settings: 1-bit/2.8MHz/DPCM64 which is an improvement, but the files play for maybe 1-2 seconds (sometimes a little longer) and skip to the next track throughout the album. However, if I play the same file via MinimServer, I get the full DSD playback with the following settings showing in the player for the track: 1-bit/2.8 MHz/5.6 MBPs/DSD64Īnyone have any ideas what Asset UPnP is doing to the file for playback? I have also tried changing the settings in the streaming configuration to set. My DSD files are playing back via Asset UPnP with the following settings: 64-bit/352.8KHz/5.6 MBPs/DPCM8 and not playing back at full DSD quality. Things a little better, but my issue seems to be with DSD playback. OK - So purchased and now have a more stable playback in that the tracks no longer skip from one to the next after playing a few seconds, although I am not sure if that was me playing around with the settings on my iPhone Neutron Music player app.
