What is the exact file extension of the DSD file you are trying to play? You are referring to it as a diff file. I would expect the extension to be either '.dff' or '.dsf'.

If the file extension of the DSD file is either '.dff' or '.dsf', MinimServer should recognise the DSD file as well as the MP3 file. MinimServer currently doesn't read tags from .dff files, so these files would appear only under 'untagged"' and 'folder view'. If you're not seeing the DSD files for this album where you expect to find them, this could be the reason.

Are you trying to play these files from EMM (eLyric Music Manager) or from the eLyric iPad/iPod control point talking to MinimServer? I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to 'downloading' the album to EMM and 'uploading' the files to MinimServer. Pease clarify exactly what setup you are using to download, browse and play these DSD files.

I've sent you a PM with an alternative suggestion for how to send me log files.
