I really enjoy your channel sir. I have learned a great deal & have followed many of your recommendations & been highly satisfied. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel I was asking about the MQA codecs, rather than the business. I was just wondering if you knew anything about Bluetooth codec MQAir (and how it worked). As wells as if you know if there would be continued support for MQA playback. I Like the sound of MQA. You’ve always been my source of information in regards to audio.
I find that playing from a computer isn't the right path unless you use a network bridge and apps like Roon, Audirvana, Amarra or jRiver. See my reviews.
Great info Hans… I will have to listen again to absorb all of it. I have a question regarding the path of the audio stream. I use Jriver média player on a Mac mini (connected by wifi to my network) to play my music from my Synology NAS to my Sotm SMS Ultra Neo streamer, both wire connected to my router. Does the audio stream transit to my Mac mini before going to my streamer or is it a direct path from the NAS to the streamer?
JRiver is the hearty of the system. It reads the music files from your NAS, eventually converts them (for instance sample rate conversion when switched on) and sends them to your SOtM.
Thanks for this! So will Audirvana Origins function as a DNLA server when I fire it up? And will a system like HEOS recognize it on the network when I do, including my locally stored music library? Groeten uit Vermont! 😊
It’s not a DNLA server but it uses the DNLA protocol to send music from the computer to the renderer. You use the Audirvāna app to control Audirvãna. Whether it will be seen by HEOS I don’t know.
Hello & thank-you...................... How do I know which clock is "boss" in my digital signal chain? Is the answer anything like Toslink has no copper, so can't carry clock signal? Or it's no longer a problem with USB-3 (whatever that means)? Do all DACs have a clock & buffer? How do I know if the USB bridge is the master clock? How do I know which clock is "boss" in my digital signal chain? Reggae, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊
With USB Audio class 2 - that can be on USB 2 or USB 3 - the clock in the DAC is the master. With USB Audio Class 1 - only found on older Windows versions - the computer is the master. All other digital audio connection use the clock in the sending device.
@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel So, the clock in my CD transport (player toslink out) is the master over my DAC? Do I have this right? Thank-you X 2 Sincerely
Why on Earth have many manufacturers of Android smarrphones removed dlna support from several of their more recent models? Only a few years ago it was a standard feature on even the cheapest Android smartphones. It simply doesn't make any sense, since many consumers nowadays have all sorts of dlna enabled devices - TVs, PCs, Laptops, some HiFi-systems, gaming consoles, (other) smartphones, tablets, projectors, Android TV-boxes & NAS drives etc. Is it to avoid paying a fee for dlna certification for each sold unit of a model? Or what is going on here? Yes, dlna is a very old standard (2003), but it works really fine, even though many newer media file formats are not included in it. ( but it is a fairly easy task to convert media files automatically these days ). Can such an Android phone get the dlna protocol & functionality anyway, if you just install a dlna server, controller & client app like for instance BubbleUpnp on the phone? Thank you for a great program 😉
@@TheHansBeekhuyzenChannel OK, thank you - so this will just remain a big mystery 😉 I was just really surprised, when I discovered this very strange development recently, while I was researching the potential candidates for my next smartphone to replace my trusty old and very cheap (!) Honor 7 Lite - which is dlna enabled, and it works like a charm. It seems to be across the board: Samsung ( most models in the cheaper ranges ), Xiaomi ( + Poco ), Realme, OnePlus, .... & even Sony ( one of the founders of dlna! ) - except Motorola! - where most models still have dlna, with Edge 40 as an exception. ( But the newer Edge 40 Neo does have dlna however ).

Great to hear!
very informative! I'll be browsing your other videos for other additions to my addiction.
There are worse addictions😄
Great Video! Could you please do a video on the recent events regarding & the Current state of MQA and it’s possible future.
I am involved in tech, not with business & economics and the like. I'm sure there are others that will do that.
