Since DLNA/Upnp only supports 16-44.1, you can only do Roon bridge or play locally with its simple Android app for now. Although the TF card local playback sounds great, the Android playback app is really too simple in its functionality.

Yes, I use two Belden 1694F's for the interconnect and have never removed them since I put them on, I can set the Arcas within the Denafrips Android App to use an external clock or not and the sound has improved.

Denafrips Arcas output to Denafrips Terminator 12th-1 via USB , DSD512 stable and smooth playback has been successful. Just researched the Denafrips website for firmware update instructions for Arce & Arcas, DSD512 is only on USB output, while I2S output only DSD256 , Currently firmware.

I haven't used IRIS, just heard from the manufacturer that Denafrips streamer is superior to DDC for digital audio signals.

When I use Macmini m2 USB direct connection to Denafrips DAC, DSD512 plays fine.ARCE uses TF card to play DSD512 locally will be stuck. So, since the ARCE factory specs claim to support DSD512 playback, the problem is with the ARCE.

Setting the sample rate of Roon's output to the Denafrips Streamer to DSD512 results in a crackling sound that accompanies the music. Set it to DSD256 and the crackling disappears.

My denafrips streamer plays locally from a TF card or as a Roon Bridge, DSD512 is accompanied by a murmur, DSD256 and below is normal.

"full on stuttering with DSD 512",I'm also having the problem with DSD512 on my Denafrips Streamer. MacMini m2 + Roon -------------Denafrips Streamer--------------DAC

I'm now using a Denafrips Streamer in combination with a Terminator 2 12th-1 and using its 45Mhz & 49Mhz clocks, and there is an audible improvement in sound. Maybe it's psychological and won't go back to the Streamer's clock. Also experimented with the combination with the TP2-12-1 and the...

Waiting for the TERMINATOR , curious how much better this one is than the PONTUS ? And how well the Denafrips Streamer connects to the TERMINATOR clock?

I've been using Arce for Roon Bridege for 3 months now and I'm still happy with the sound. But the almost once a month firmware updates to remove bugs & update the mobile app seems to be continuing. I guess the manufacturers realise that they have to clear the firmware and software bugs before...

Used Avplay hd-300 arrived, the sound is clear and detailed, Suitability for prolonged listening needs to be verified. Arce updated to SW25 firmware, local TF or USB flash drive audio file playback is finally stable, smooth. Hope for Arce firmware update: DLNA support for DSD256 & 24-192 ...

Thanks for the recommendation, I just bought a 0.5m used AVPLAY HD-300, I will share the listening experience when it arrives.

Just replaced the $2 Ugreen cable with a $9.99 Kabeldirekt hdmi cable that connects to the TV at home, and the sound from the Arce i2s to Pontus is significantly improved. The Blue Jeans EF hdmi I ordered is still in transit, so hopefully it will sound better when it arrives.

Arce as Roon Bridge via Usb to Ayre Qb9 Twenty finally sound good, currently supports up to 24-192 。。。。。。。 Waiting for the continued evolution to DSD support. Back to I2S to the Pontus 12-1 for a more consistent and smooth sound.
