It doesn’t matter which player are you using, switching between various output methods (i.e. It will sound smoother, more dynamic, more detailed and with a better control. You want the 1ms or the minimum latency setting. The values are often shown in milliseconds, but can be also presented descriptively e.g. Not all DAC drivers come with a buffer size/latency adjustment, but if yours does, I highly recommend setting it to the lowest value. This is one of the things that have the biggest effect on sound quality in a computer audio setup. Adjust latency in USB DAC’s control panel For Windows PCs it is also a good idea to make a fresh OS installation once a year or so as Windows registry gets bigger and fragmented over time which lowers performance as well. The best thing you can do is to set up a dedicated operating system with nothing else installed on it except for a USB DAC driver and a software player or media server software (if it’s a music server). You may think that it’s nothing for your latest PC with high-speed CPU and lots of RAM, but the truth is anything that’s running on your PC during audio playback has a bad impact on sound quality. The more software you load on your PC, the slower it runs. Keep the operating system fresh with the number of running apps at a minimum When I get to the pop up window if I select “Audio” it says go to “Media Network” button and click on “Add or configure DLNA Servers”.1. I should point out that I am making changes under “Tools/Import” button at the top of the page. The above tutorial is for MC19 but doesn’t seem to work for J River MC20. I thought I had it working when I first got the DS, but I recently noticed the DS display says “Input: PCM Rate:176.4 24 Bits” whenever I play DSD. Well, I’ve been banging my head on the wall trying to get DSD to go over the network to my DS.
