swcng2001 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 @Cebolla, thanks for your comments. At this point, I think we are all guessing as to the real cause of the gapless problem. I really wish someone from JRiver and from SOtM would help solve this after all it speaks loudly about their support capability and the ability of their products to handle DSD files correctly. I guess this is one wish that will not happen! I don't think any of us wants to spend so much time on something like this when instead we can be listening to good music! Whether JRiver or SOtM solves this problem or not, I can live with this limitation for now, however, I still want to upsample files. How can I do this with HQPlayer NAA on the SOtM? Thanks.

In the past, up to JRiver26, it tried and used it in all its possible configuration and it didn’t have any issue. Sotm sms200 was used as dlna renderer without issues. Sotm sms200 worked fine with Audirvana too and as MPD/Dlna renderer with Minimserver Never had any issue playing gapless up to dsd256 where possible. Now it works flawlessly and gapless as HQP NAA up to dsd512. It should be interesting if you could try yourself instead of speculating on “theories “. In my experience JRiver is a quite strange “beast”, difficult and confusing to set it up in the right way and it has different behaviors depending on which OS it is running on: I experimented on macOS and Ubuntu and it has different flaws … very confusing … Stefano My audio system Link to comment

I was "butting in" after all - especially as I don't have the sMS-200 to try myself! So if you'll excuse my speculation, your experience points to the problem being down to JRiver's production of those particular WAV files for streaming on that particular machine. We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment

My idea is that JRiver guys released DSD upsampling for a marketing reason over all, at the v26 time they where of the opinion that DSD upsampling to a DLNA renderer was impossible, then the released the feature, just up to DSD64, in v27 and in v28 they gave more options. It is possible that the functionality it still quite “young” and possibly a bit buggy. It would be fine if more customers could use it and “shrink” out the issues, but there are more appealing players outside like Audirvana, Roon and HQPlayer when upsampling enters the game, then it could take some time to perfect it.

Another way to use HQPlayer Embedded is to load in HQPe the library and use HQPDcontrol as control app, it’s available on iOS and Android. Nothing changes about Sotm sms200 as NAA Stefano My audio system Link to comment

This time with Audirvāna running on my Mac mini. Gapless DSD played without any problem🤔 It kind of proves that there’s no problem with MPD/DLNA on the SOtM and it’s more a problem with JRiver. It could be some problem with the settings in JRiver which can be very confusing. I’m still trying to find out about Audirvana especially how I can upsample PCM files. Link to comment

creativepart Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I'm having trouble removing the NNA from Eunhasu Music Player for my SMS200 Ultra. I've closed HQP and Roon. I've turned off the NAA and clicked "Uninstall" half a dozen times but it's not uninstalling. SoTM has the following instructions: Quote For example for HQplayer NAA feature, Enter to HQplayer NAA config page. Click a Delete/remove button. Once successfully deleted/removed, a install button will be appeared. Click the install button to apply the update. Check the version number and use the feature.
