Network mount(SBM/CIFS) vs DLNA(UPnP), which one is better?

Postby vshk » 16 Apr 2017, 03:37

Dear all,

I would like to learn from your experience and opinion on which type of streaming is better on the setup below:

Device: raspberry pi3, USB connection to DAC supporting DSD
Source: Music file in DSD(dsf) format stored in a Mac in the same network

I found that I have two choices:
1. Use network mount to share the folder in the Mac as a source in the library
2. Run a DLNA media server on Mac (e.g.serviio) and use a uPnP player client to stream the music to runeaudio.

I have no idea which option I should choose or the pros and cons.

Thanks!
Victor

You mean playing local content versus "casting" content?

You would have to know how (if) the content is altered by the streaming protocol before being sent....like how Bluetooth does.

You are also limited to 9-10MB/s over the network. If that matters with DSD. I don't think it should.

Thank you Frank,

So it sounds the option of using network mount is guaranteed, while using streaming with uPnP may have some uncertainties.

That said, if there is no other special reason of using the DLNA server/client, going for network mount is the better choice.

Rgds,
