Streaming bit-perfect

[Janne_Alanampa]

Hi

I’m new here and would like to know if I stream wirelessly from my MacBook to my Onkyo receiver will it be bit-perfect?

[bitracer]

Yes, if you use UPnP.

So if I can see my TX-8150 here I can assume it will be bit-perfect? Sorry for being a noob😉

[Janne_Alanampa]

Audirvana recognises my receiver as a UPnP player so everything should be ok here?

[bitracer]

Yep, exactly. Keep the software volume control and the upsampling disabled if you want to play bit-perfect.

[Janne_Alanampa]

I will, thanks for your help👍

But the volume slider in Audirvana does not disappear even though the volume control is disabled. When I connect my Mac with my portable dac/amp the volume slider disappears. Is this normal?

[robcee]

probably normal, yes.

Does the volume slider match what’s displayed on your Onkyo receiver? It’s possible you have an extra volume control in Audirvana for your UPnP endpoint. I know I get those if I stream to one of my raspberrypis in the house.

cheers!

Yes it’s pretty much the same level as my Onkyo and when I adjust the volume in Audirvana it does the same on Onkyo too.
