List of confirmed gapless DSD streamers.


Recommended Posts

Please post confirmation.

 

By "streamer" I mean from a upnp networked share.

 

I don't mean SMB, or via USB.

 

It's hard to find a definitive list. If there is one, kindly link me to it. This tends to get lost in rhetoric.

 

I don't want opinion.

I just want facts. Yes or no.

 

I'll kick things off.

Care to explain why?

Any lastgen marantz Avr ... prolly many others (denon, onkyo, pioneer, sony, etc)

Last gen streamers from the same companies too

 

That's all stuff a read in the specs, haven't tried any myself.

 

I'm streaming gapless DSD to my Marantz SR6009 AVR from my Buffalo Linkstation LS421DE NAS.

Quick Q, did you by any chance compare the stereo SQ of the 6009 with previous marantz models (e.g. x007, x008 lines)

 

No I did not but I did compare it to my old Denon X4000. The X4000 was a small bit brighter then the Marantz.

I'm a recent owner of Pioneer N50A streamer.

In my experience, it is not gapless in DSD, even if controlled by its own keyboard.

I wondered how did this member managed to use the N50A in DSD.

My server is Synology last version of DSM, gapless in other formats when controlled from the device.

Hi Jean-David,

 

I believe that Wappinghigh was referring to this post:

http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f22-networking-networked-audio-and-streaming/new-pioneer-streamers-22205/#post377634

 

So DSD gapless support for the N-50A & N-70A streamers is not currently available, but should be sorted out by the proposed (presumably firmware) update. See info on Pioneer Japan's site - Google Translate 'was my friend!':

?????????????????N-70A??N-50A? ??????????????????? | ???? | ??????? | ?????????

The firmware update is out for the N50a. I updated, but havent had time to try it. It does a hard reset on the machine which is a little bit of a pain, but should be only a matter of minutes to find out how to change the language to english....
