![]() ![]() For CD it outclassed my Esoteric, my Jadis transport, the Aurender S10, any of my iMac/Macbook-based solutions and all the Vortexbox-based products I reviewed. It in fact gifted me with the best sound I've yet experienced from any digital source. If the Lumin parted the high heavens with high-resolution DSD, it remained a top dog for Redbook. ![]() Of course the DSD recordings of Ivan Fischer’s works are sterling examples of accuracy and the Grimm Audio DAC used by Channel Classics on the recording side must be credited in some way for these stunning results. It appeared to me as a new kind of threshold in sound reproduction. It was fundamentally different and far more realistic. I would say that DSD streaming of genuine DSD-recorded files was so different from typical 24/96 or 24/192 PCM that comparison to the familiar Redbook standard no longer was a simple question of being softer, wider and more resolved. There was outstanding seamlessness and continuity of staging. There no longer was the customary twin-layer effect of 'some performers in the back, the rest upfront'. I think most of the stunningly realistic nature of DSD streaming was due to the fact that various instruments were focused with such incredible precision. The solo violin was both carnal and liquid and showed off astounding phrasing whilst preserving the music’s ghostly character. On Channel Classics' Mahler’s Fourth, the second movement “In gemächlicher Bewegung, ohne Hast” was far more organic in streaming mode. You'll simply have to trust me when I state categorically that my Lumin loaner's DSD streaming trounced all renowned SACD players I still might have tried. The only sure thing is that reason and rationale are far from clear. Another possible reason is the extra DST unzip-on-the-fly process generating more jitter. Perhaps the primary reason is the niche status of SACD and the limited technical development for its playback compared to CD. My DAC (previously connected via USB) is now connected to an old Squeezebox (analog audio problems) and they work fine via LMS.This review page is supported in part by the sponsors whose ad banners are displayed belowīringing the Lumin into focus and considering pure DSD mother files, I was amazed by the fact that streaming DSD would so distinctly outclass spinning disc playback. RE: Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" - Ketalar - 27-03-2016 16:44 The best place to get help with solving this problem is the Vortexbox forum. It sounds like the Vortexbox contains a UPnP renderer that is attempting to play the file to your USB-connected DAC and is getting an error for some reason. When using foo_upnp to play a file, you need to select a UPnP renderer that is connected to your network via Ethernet (not USB). RE: Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" - simoncn - 06-03-2016 18:52 The VB is on the local ethernet, as other PCs. I can use it via the Squeezebox Server but not via FB (where the foo_upnp seems correctly installed). I have tested many of them.ĭAC is Ibasso Anaconda, USB connected to the Vortexbox. Perhaps the file you are trying to play is not compatible with your DAC.Īll my files are FLAC. RE: Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" - Ketalar - 06-03-2016 18:37 What DAC is it? Is the DAC connected via Ethernet? What is the type of the file (e.g., FLAC, WMA, MP3, MP4, etc.)? Perhaps the file you are trying to play is not compatible with your DAC. RE: Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" - simoncn - 06-03-2016 18:04 "To nobody, except those who will take pleasure here" (Franz Schubert, 1797-1828) Where is the problem (and its solution) ? But for any of them it says : "stopped". I can (right click) send a file to UPNP "Play on",e.g. The UPNP controller sees my DAC and the other squeezeboxes. The upnp server sees the "Logitech mediaserver (vortexbox)" and the "Minimserver (vortexbox)". Minimserver interface seems correctly installed on the PC : the icon is green. I can play them via Foobar on a local PC, but I would prefer to send them to the amplifier via an external DAC, instead of passing through the PC. My music files are on a Vortexbox (with Minimserver installed). ![]() Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" - Ketalar - 06-03-2016 16:38 +- Thread: Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" ( /showthread.php?tid=2967) +- Forum: Support ( /forumdisplay.php?fid=4) +- Forum: MinimServer ( /forumdisplay.php?fid=1) Vortexbox and Minimserver : "stopped" - Printable Version ![]()
