DLNA streaming to TCP Device

Post by Vitikin@hotmail.com » Mon Nov 30, 2020 6:29 am

Hello, first time posting a question (of which I have many):
If I cast to a DLNA device from Neutron, which device processes the digital-to-analog file? In other words, is Neutron streaming an analog encoded signal over TCP-IP to the device? Or is Neutron sending the digital file (flac, dsd, mp3, etc) and the DLNA device DAC does the conversion?
I am sorry, I am trying to understand what is the best way to get a final result on a hi-fi vintage amplifier. I am currently streaming over Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX. So I want to know if there is quality to be gain in any other configuration other than something hard wired

Neutron can either send its output to the local DAC, or to a USB DAC, or to a stream. Neutron's outout is always digital. So in your case the DLNA device does the digital-analog-conversion or sends the data to another DAC.
I don't use it that way, but afaik Neutron can either act as a DLNA controller and send the unprocessed files or act as a DLNA renderer, process the output and send that. I'm not sure about the controller though, but it can definitively act as as a renderer.
