I have a copy of Media Center 24 which works with the Amanero driver. Here are photos of my settings. I hope this helps. I would ask your questions in the JRiver interactive forum if problems continue.

Is it possible to stream Qobuz directly to the Zen Stream from my Android phone? If so how. Thanks in advance.

I bought the DGS-105.

Thanks for the tip. I just grounded the switch and the sound seems a bit more relaxed or smoother. I imagined that the sound quality of the 005 was close to being at its maximum when I added the streamer. I have just spent an addition 1/2 hour listening to familiar music with the switch...
