Hi guys. I rarely post questions to forums because I can usually find answers by searching, but this time, I can't find anything about this subject.
I'm using Kodi 16.1 on a mid-2011 iMac running the latest beta of El Capitan. I only use Kodi to host my music files over wired ethernet to my Airport Extreme to my Yamaha RX-v677 receiver. I am able to play FLAC and ALAC and many other formats directly on my Yamaha by selecting "Server" on the Yamaha's input, then I use the onscreen controls on my TV from the Yamaha to navigate and play files from my Kodi library located on my Mac.
The Yamaha can play DSD, but there isn't much in the manual about it. I can see the names of DSF files when browsing the Kodi library on my TV, but those titles are greyed out and unplayable. DFF don't show up at all.
I can play those files on my iMac in Kodi itself, but I can't stream that audio to the Yamaha because my optical out doesn't seem to be working. ( I gave up on that.)
Thanks in advance!
