The player is limited to 128DSD but the server can hold 256DSD.

I read it as the player is limited to 2xdsd regardless. (I think they're USB out only?).
The Devialet is of course limited to DSD64 (1x) anyway.
I wish people would come up with a standard nomenclature for DSD support.
Is it 1x, 2x DSD etc
Or is it DSD64, DSD128
Or is it in MHz?
I think it is DSD 128 on the USB out and as the server can hold DSD 256 I suppose a streamer connected to the ethernet out port on a Melco will be able to play DSD 256.
That is also my understanding. Though I would have to try and find out. Maybe over the weekend I will give it a go with the Auralic Aires. I agree that a standard nomenclature should be adopted for DSD. Had to go look up a Wikipedia article, as Jriver was showing just the frequency.
