where do I set these parameters?
These settings are relative to Audirvāna running on either a macOS/platform or a Windows OS platform… This information was provided shortly after the Beta release of Audirvana for Linux… So, if you are connecting your DAC directly from your computer platform via Ethernet UPnP, you should be able to play files… how you have your NAS configured for access of the files stored on it, is the salient question… As the UPnP output is just that… an output.
Please read through this entire thread: dCS Vivaldi issues with Audirvana Studio
Synology NAS with MinimServer and MBP that works using Mosaic, just got that done via apple support as it worked before. As to Audirvana which I prefer to mosaic I did get it showing the UPnP but lost it?
The NAS with MinimServer is UPnP with Mosaic so I imaging its configured correctly?
It appears the proprietary nature of the Mosaic/MinimServer implementation is the source of the problem using Audirvāna under UPnP protocol… You must make a very simple Ethernet UPnP connection from the computer hosting Audirvāna delivering signals to your DAC, with a locally attached library NAS drive that Audirvāna can synchronize with for playback… (not MinimServer or Mosaic) so to get a baseline operational playback configuration and work from that point… You will need to make sure Mosaic is not running interference and preventing the Audirvāna from accessing the Ethernet bus and the library storage device. Probably best to remove Mosaic.
As I stated previously… It appears that DCS wants to manage control of the signal flow from a server so to insure signal integrity…
So , let’s see if I get this. Drop mosaic from the MBP. Can I still access the music file I created on the Synology (minimserva is on this nas but I have a separate music file) and sync that with Audrivana? Oo use a separate SSD drive containing my music files and sync that with Audrivana? Thanks for all the help,I’ll try it
Audirvāna natively supports all audio formats, including multi-channel, used by professionals and music enthusiasts such as WAV, AIFF, FLAC, ALAC, MQA and DSD etc., with no resolution limit other than the DAC itself, typically 32 bits and a sampling rate of 768 kHz (or DSD512).
Audirvāna also fetches your music where it is stored. We have simplified the addition of music process in Audirvāna, with an easy drag and drop option of new files directly into a playlist.
For a more permanent addition, you can synchronize different folders containing your music from the ‘local’ menu in the settings. Audirvāna will then automatically update the library at each startup. If you are a Mac user, you can also synchronize your iTunes Music library in the same manner. Folders may be directly stored on your computer, or on an external hard drive connected via USB or a network, on a NAS for example.
Your stored files remain intact. Audirvāna copies and processes the file you play on the fly without keeping it in memory. Only your files’ metadata can be modified from within the app if you choose to.

I do not recommend a networked system configuration.
I have my SSD Library attached via USB 3.1 to my Mac Studio and deliver the Audirvāna Studio output signal via Thunderbolt 3/4 to a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion chassis that hosts my USB 3.0 controller card (Along with extensive PCI power filtering) that serves a USB 3.0 signal to my DAC via an iFi Audio iGalvanic 3 which transitions to a 4" UpTone Audio USB 2.0 printed circuit board ‘cable’ connected to my DAC… This shortens the USB 2.0 signal path and virtually eliminates the USB 2.0 signaling latencies (iPurifier 3 can supplant both the iGalvanic and the Uptone ‘cable’ in one elegant unit) where the USB 3.0 protocol separates the signaling lines independent of the data-lines, which in aggregate improves the signal packet latencies and the iGalvanic insures the signal packet clock timings through pre-buffering… This in concert with other system tweaks and enhancements, including extreme system level power distribution isolation/noise management.
There are 3 parts to a UPnP network: Server, renderer, and control point.
Audirvāna acts as server and control point (that is, it controls what is sent by the server and received by the renderer), but you still need the third piece, the renderer. For dCS equipment, the renderer is Mosaic. (It is based on rygel, open source UPnP rendering software.) This means if you want Audirvāna to see the Rossini, Mosaic must be running. Since Audirvāna acts as the server, Minimserver is not necessary, though it may not do any harm.
So that’s what you can try if you want to test UPnP. Please provide the debug information from Audirvāna if you try this so we can help you further if necessary.
And if you want to compare or don’t want to bother with UPnP, there’s the alternative of a direct USB connection.

From the Rossini Manual:
dCS Mosaic
dCS Mosaic is a carefully assembled collection of hardware and software modules which provide easy and intuitive access to a vast catalogue of digital music. Whether it’s high resolution files on a local server or an internet radio station broadcast from a distant land, dCS Mosaic ensures that the music you love is only a few convenient taps away.
dCS Mosaic comprises of three parts.dCS Mosaic is the name for the audio streaming and networked control functionality of dCS products.
dCS Mosaic Control is the name of the iOS and Android software application for music management and product control.
dCS Mosaic Processor is the physical hardware component and associated software that is installed in the dCS product to provide streaming functionality.
I got the impression from the log showing the rygel library at the link below that part of Mosaic was rygel, the UPnP renderer necessary for Audirvāna to detect the Rossini player.
I could be wrong, but it costs nothing to try.
