Hi Dan. Here's a screen shot of the UPnP player information for my 1st generation Mu-so.

I have a first generation Mu-So. Thanks for clarifying that profiles are applied to a recognized product rather than chosen by the user.

I installed the 3.4.0-4 Beta a few days ago and have played a variety of albums from my ripped or downloaded files and Qobuz without major problems. Here are some observations, not all of which may be related to the Beta release. When backing up in a menu tree, I occasionally see the message in...

Thanks for this update, Stephen. It prompts a couple of questions regarding how best to configure my Zen Mk 3 and Naim NDS, currently connected by ethernet and using the Sense app through UPnP, in the future. You mentioned in the Sense 3.4 Beta thread that the Naim ND555 has a "certified device...

My Zen MK III is usually always on when I am at home. I've noticed that after a power failure the unit does not power up automatically and also does not start when the power button on the front panel is pushed. I have to power cycle the unit using that power button on the back panel. Just...

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...
