Thanks for posting this feedback. It's interesting for me to see that my Naim NDS streamer/DAC is not the only device that has difficulty with DSD files sent from Sense and a Zen Mk III, see my earlier post. This was a comment on Sense 3.2.5, but the behaviour remains with version 3.3.0.

I'm using a Zen Mk.3 and Sense 3.3.0. I stream to Naim NDS and 1st generation Naim Mu-so end points. This query is about the Mu-so, which is configured with Compatibility Mode, DSD support and Display Track data off; maximum sample rate is set to 192kHz. The problem is that the volume resets...

Thanks for this info, Stephan. It would seem that DoP is a way to "smuggle" a DSD stream past a digital interface that isn't set up to deal with this format. What the DAC does after this is another problem, for which there are a variety of solutions. For anyone interested, there's a discussion...

Naim DACs indeed do not support native DSD playback and use DoP instead. However, DoP does not convert DSD to PCM. Rather, it uses the "words" in PCM to package the 1-bit DSD stream, rather than to represent the value of the signal amplitude. Assuming, that Naim is using a 24-bit DAC, then each...

I have the same problem with a Naim NDS streamer - endless looping of the first 5 - 10 seconds of a DSD track and no sound when DSD support is on, but track plays when DSD support is off. I agree that a conversion to PCM is probably occurring when the DSD support is off. I have compared...

Update: I was able to fix this problem by restarting the system using the power button in the upper right corner of the System menu.

I've noticed another glitch since my post of a couple of days ago. As is my habit, I backed up my Zen Mk 3 server before updating to 3.2.1, which occurred without problem. However, I noticed this evening that the Zen can no longer find the USB backup drive. There's nothing wrong with the...

I have posted about a couple of issues with Sense 3.1 and streaming via UPnP to my Naim NDS and 1st generation Mu-so endpoints. Here are my observations regarding these issues after implementing the 3.2.1 update. Under Sense 3.1, when playback resumed after a pause, the track would restart at...

I have experienced something similar. Before Sense 3.1, I could Auto Import an album and then see it immediately under Music/New Music. After updating to Sense 3.1, this was no longer the case. A search for the album would return a screen showing an album name on the left of the screen, but it...

Ah, you are going directly into a Chord DAC, I assume via USB, and so are not using UPnP integration. This puts a different spin on the problem as it would seem to be something broader than just UPnP integration with a streamer.

By definition, if you are using Sense with UPnP integration, you are using a profile. If you haven't explicitly chosen one, the Innuos server probably chose one according to the streamers that it found on your network. To check this out, go to System/Settings/Audio. Mine looks like this.

I experienced what you've described regarding the Uniti profile when I experimented with using the NDS/NDX profile instead of the NDS v2.

I forgot to specify in my original post that I am using the NDS v2 profile. Out of curiosity, I changed the UPnP profile to NDS/NDX. What happens is different but equally strange. After the pause icon is tapped, the horizontal line that runs along to bottom of the screen to show elapsed time...

I've noticed after updating to version 3.1 of the Sense app that I cannot pause a track and then continue from the same point. As soon as I press the pause icon, the track indicator goes to the beginning of the track. I'm not 100% sure that this started happening only with this particular...
