audio/dsd MIME type (was Add DLNA.ORG_PN parameter)Īnother option might be to continue to use the Seagate DLNA server but point it at the disk storage on the Synology as your media source. MinimServer Forum - DSD Files: audio/x-dsf vs. While you may have installed the Synology 'Media Server' (DLNA) add-on to your new NAS, it appears to not have the same capabilities/behaviors as the version on the Seagate when it comes to DSD.Ĭan you try one of the other DLNA servers available as a Synology add-on? MinimServer is very highly regarded.

From the Seagate user manual: 'The DLNA service, an industry-wide standard for sharing data over a home network, is turned on by default on your Personal Cloud.' Seagate is employing DLNA server software most likely licensed from a third-party. When you stream across your network from the Seagate to your Sony BD, you are using DLNA. If someone can, that gives me hope that my Synology NAS might be configured to do so as well.

So my question to anyone who uses both a Synology NAS (with the most recent firmware/apps) and a Sony X800 (or similar): can you see and stream DSD files? But remember, the Sonys see and play FLAC and MP3 files ok. Perhaps there is something in the myriad possible settings on the Synology that I need to activate / change in order to have it behave like the Seagates, at least as for as the Sony sees it. What makes the Synology different than the Seagates? do not stream DSD, as per the manual) with the Synology. It makes me wonder why the Sonys will exceed expectations (when it comes to streaming DSD) with the Seagates, but only meet expectations (ie. This leads me to believe that the 'problem' resides not with the Synology NAS, but rather with the Sony. I can see and play the three test files, including the DSD file, from the Synology NAS using Foobar, on either my desktop or laptop PCs. The Sonys continue to see and play any DSD files on the old Seagate servers. The Sony X800s see and play the FLAC and MP3 files, but do not see the DSD file. I loaded a test folder containing three music files (one each of DSD, FLAC and MP3) and placed the folder in the NAS' Music folder.

I completed the set up and installed the required apps. I'm not using RAID, but rather JBOD, as it will only be used for streaming backups are done elsewhere so a drive failure would be only an inconvenience, not a catastrophe. This is the latest generation Synology NAS, running latest generation firmware and up-to-date apps.

dsf files.Īs the Seagates are reaching their capacity I have just bought a Synology DS220j two-bay NAS and a single (for now) 8TB WD Red Plus drive for it.

This despite the fact that the X800's owner's manual says that 'The player may not play this file format on a Home Network server' - with reference to. The Sonys have had no problem playing music files from them, including DSD (.dsf) files (stereo and multichannel). I have been using a couple of Seagate Personal Cloud NAS devices.

Among other things I use them to stream my music collection (DSD, FLAC, MP3) from servers connected to my home network. I have a couple of Sony UBP-X800 Blu-ray players.
