#LOGITECH MEDIA SERVER CHROMECAST PLUGIN UPDATE#

However this does not update the Synology package. However, I then discovered that the LMS 9.0 UI does not work in Microsoft Edge, if you have the Creators Update. Now I can play native DSF files through Squeezebox Touch (you also need the EDO modification) and a Teac DSD DAC. A user has updated the plugin, and if you add the following plugin repository: I installed, then added DSDPlayer and, hmm, I could see the DSD files but they did not play. You enable beta versions in the Package Center and it will offer to update. I then discovered that Synology is showing signs of updating LMS and has a beta release of LMS 9.0. DSD is the format used by SACD and some audiophiles swear it sounds better than PCM. This means you can output native DSD provided you have a DSD DAC (and some DSD files to play).

There are a few issues with this release, but I lived with it, until I discovered that LMS 9.x can play DSD files, using a DSDPlayer plugin that adds DoP (DSD over PCM) support. Synology has been slow to keep its LMS package up to date and the official release is still 7.7.6. It works very well, better than when I used a Windows VM.

I run Logitech Media Server (LMS) on a Synology NAS.
