Newbie having trouble

I am a newbie and was looking for something to connect my Streamer S.M.S.L SD-9 and my DAC Musician Pegasus - which can stream Tidal and local DSD files and radio, so I have taken out the Studio Trial.
My problems are that DSD’s have no audio at all and appear on the Streamer as WAV .
I know my Streamer works over DLNA with Bubble UPnp and plays DSD’s fine as DSD’s not WAV.
It can play 128 DSD’s no problem this method, but with Studio … not.

The other problem is that MQA files on Tidal play with a loud hissing noise and no audio. I have tried altering most settings to no avail. The only way to get these files to play is to restrict the bit depth to 16 and they play as 16 bit files. I can play these files via Mconnect app as 24 bit files no problem.
I realise my set up is a bit non standard and I am confused about how I can connect the DAC to Studio without going through a Streamer.
Please be gentle but any suggestions or advice ? Will my set up work with Studio required or should I look for alternative solutions.
Thanks

Select DoP 1.0.

That option is not available to me?

It’s “DSD over PCM 1.0”, DoP for short.

Yes set as that, no, no sound and the streamer displays WAV 24 bit

Hmm, maybe this interface doesn’t support DoP. Have you tried with USB?

The streamer supports native dsd, it works fine via mconnect and bubbleupnp as native, so its something to do with DLNA from Studio?

Based on What I can see in your debug info, it doesn’t states this, can you please send a screenshot when you try to play a DSD track in Bubble UPnP?


Forgive me butting in why not DSD via PCM 1.1?

I though that his device maybe doesn’t support it. Just a guess, but that was not the issue.

Try to flip the switch “don’t send as RAW PCM” in the DAC Input settings.

To get DSD to be send by Audirvāna Studio, your device need to states in the supported protocol that it can get dsf. Do you have the latest firmware of your device installed? If so, please contact your manufacturer as there is something wrong in the UPnP implementation of your device.

Ok, well the firmware is the latest and the streamer works via bubbleupnp and mconnect. So no problems there
I have now installed USB Audio Player Pro on my android phone and this works great, has all the things i was looking for, shame as i like Studio but there’s something amiss with the network side.
Thanks

Do you have a setting that is forcing DSD activated?

DSD mode just initiates on the streamer when i play a DSD file on mconnect and Bubble.

Interesting tho, can you please go in the device selection menu of BubbleUPnP and press the three dot icon next to your device name? Tap on the info selection, can you please send a screenshot of what you see?
