Were you transcoding this file to WAV or playing it natively as FLAC? What exactly was the sequence of operations that caused silence to be playing?

Quote:The dsf:dopwav, can be removed by deleting, click apply/ok but closing the properties window and reopening the properties window shows them still there.

Is this on the Melco? There is a custom setting on the Melco to apply this as the default setting if the stream.transcode field is empty. I would be interested to know why you don't want these transcode settings to be active.

DXD flac:wav, I used to set flac:wav24 before I had the Melco and streamed over Ethernet. I thought of trying flac:wav on the Melco USB to see if it made a difference, it works fine up to 192KHz PCM but not DXD. The flac plays perfectly if I remove the flac:wav transcode option.

Dsf:dopwav, yes this is on the Melco. I am trying to help Alan at Melco diagnose a problem that appears to be an issue with the Melco/Chord combination. What I want to do is make sure the DoP processing is performed by the Melco natively and not by MinimStreamer as they perform differently. I have uninstalled MinimStreamer to make sure the DoP processing is performed by the Melco for my tests. I shall reinstate it later as I believe the MinimStreamer DoP implementation performs better (more stable) than the Melco implementation.
