Setup: Zenith MK3 3.2.2 with Sense running on Mac Sequoia 13.3.1 (Sense on Safari Browser) and IOS 18.3.2
- UPnP streamer: Nagra Streamer
- Tested with running native upnp with JPLAY control point and Sense with network streamer enabled.
Non-UPnP: Running Sense with USB audio output direct to the DAC, everything works correctly, all file types and very stable.
UPnP (non Innuos) Running JPLAY control point running on my MacBook Pro and also JPLAY IOS on my iPad works fine with the same music library (USB external drive) plugged into the USB port on a 2012 Mac mini music server running Minimserver and also Asset UPnP (version R2025-02-03), and everything works correctly - so I know the latest MAC version of Asset UPnP runs correctly and with the JPLAY the music server - Control Point and Nagra streamer all work ok.
When I turn off the Mac mini and go to the Zenith MK3, I've tried both native UPnP enabled (using JPLAY as the control point), and then with my preferred setup would be using using the Sense app with the Nagra streamer selected for a network audio device. Unfortunately, both of these modes are are not useable. Only about 20-30% of my tracks will. Weird how in an album some songs will play ok, some get skipped over, and some play with no audio. Mostly FLAC (16-24 bit and 44-48-88-96K files). DSD doesn't play, and oddly low Res MP3 / m4a don't play either. I tried all combinations in the Streamer Configuration setup, but nothing seems to work.
On the subset of songs that would play, I recorded them into a Apogee DAC to my MacBook Pro, so I could do listening tests of the Sense audio out, to the JPLAY (Minimserver, Asset UPnP and Zenith UPnP native mode), and the Sense running audio out to the Nagra Streamer is a tiny bit more wider sound stage and slightly less compressed sounding as compared to the JPLAY version, but only by a small edge. For now, I will stay with JPLAY controlling Asset UPnP on the MAC mini into the Nagra streamer, and hopefully Innuos can work out the UPnP kinks, as I think down the road having the Zenith as a music server running Sense into the Nagra streamer / Tube DAC will be my favorite setup.
