Just wanted to follow up.
Since update to 3.2.2 this appears to have resolved my issues with MP3 album playback.
Thank you!

I can confirm Podcasts are now working again under 3.2.2, thanks Innuos!FYI, update 3.2.2 will resolve MP3 transcoding which in turn will restore much of the Internet Radio and Podcast functionality over SenseUPnP, as well as locally stored mp3 files
I've now tried that, thanks.In the case of UPnP, it is always worth a router reboot
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.Hi @michaelb, I have an album of DSF files recorded at DSD64 and these do not stream to the NACn272 when the configure streamer setting is DSD support on. The first track is tried for five seconds and then restarts ad-infinitum. This could be a feature of the Naim 1st gen streamer architecture just as easily as it might be a Sense issue. However, set DSD support to off and the album plays OK. I presume that a format conversion on the Innuos Zen kicks in.
This status also requires the display track data on streamer display is set to off. Turning that setting to on and playback failed.
DSD is tricky enough at the best of times, even more difficult over UPnP! The issue may be if it is being sent natively, which from what i understand the Naim does not support. I believe only DoP would be supported, and it actually gets converted to PCM by the Naim anyway? Therefore, there is no penalty in transcoding to PCM before sending to the Naim since the Naim is only doing this internally anyway from what i can tell. I'm not a Naim expert but this is from what i can discern on their forums, but if correct then I am not sure if there is a problem there for us capable of fixing.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 playing my DSD files this way with using the USB port on the NDS. To my ears, there is a difference in sound quality - the USB DSD playback sounds better.
It would be worthwhile to get Stephen's comments on what is happening. Are DSD files converted to PCM when the DSD support is off? If so, are they being converted to the Redbook standard or a higher frequency and resolution? Are there any plans to fix this problem with DSD playback for Naim legacy streamers?
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 word will contain 24 bits of a DSD stream.DSD is tricky enough at the best of times, even more difficult over UPnP!

With DSD turned off yes there would be PCM transcoding to high-res FLAC - no redbook downsampling unless you have set a low maximum supported resolution.
It turns out, there are issues now which I did not encounter in January with the first release. Tracks would suddenly skip to the next one while playing Qobuz Playlists. So you listen to a song and suddenly the next one would be played. I happened in 3.2.5 and now in the 3.3.0-14 Beta.Just an update regarding UpNP & Devialet Phantom. Just received my Stereo set after moving and connected it in our new home. All wired with Ethernet Cat 6a cables. Phantoms are on 2.8.3, Sense is 3.2.4. Compatibility mode causes issues (e.g. not skipping to next title when streaming from Internal HDD). The setup I used before works just fine for me so far (HDD, Qobuz, Radio Paradise Lossless). Compatibility turned OFF, No DSD, Limit to 96000, Display Track data![]()
