Does 24/192 Flac or higher format require a cable connection for playout via UpNP?

@Eric50

No conversion done, Yamaha device display confirms PCM/192KHz with Foobar2000.

Good to know…

@Agoldnear

Lower your playback pre-load RAM to 2GB, you are using 50% of your system RAM for pre-load buffer…

In the playback and processing of the digital-audio data for network distribution, the CPU is handling multiple system-level digital-audio processing activities that require RAM to run efficiently… Either add more RAM or lower your pre-load memory allocation to 2GB

You’ve gotten good advice from Djm1960 and Jud… Yamaha speaks to wireless interruptions in the manual… This is a common problem when employing wireless transmission of digital-audio data signals across any given network architecture, and to compound the problem of transmission interrupts and/or gross data corruption, there is no error-correction of the digital-audio data signal in the UPnP protocol.

@Eric50

It appears that Audirvana automatically sets up Max PCM Frequeny to 192KHz and Max DSD Frequency to DSD128 for the Yamaha when I select it as UpNP output device for the first time,

Just a heads-up… It appears that MusicCast is limited to 5.6MHz (DSD128) transmission.

Apparently this section of the debug report (below) holds the key aspects pertaining to the UPnP relationship with the DAC:

@Eric50

• streams well via Yamaha Musiccast App using embebedded Qobuz account
• plays well locally via Foobar2000

Hi @Eric50,

Since we embed the track in a WAV container before the unit plays the track, the proper way to try to reproduce the issue with other UPNP playback sofware is to play a WAV track in those apps
