Bartok skips first DSD track or even crashes!

I hope that this is may be straightforward. Please read this FAQ:

[Mosaic FAQ] Why is MinimServer the only UPnP server software that is fully supported by dCS?

In our years of testing with different UPnP server software dCS has found that very few available offerings behave in a consistent and predictable manner. In order to provide the best possible user experience Mosaic was engineered with MinimServer in mind as it has proven to be one of the most stable, predictable and feature-rich servers available. We are confident that Mosaic will function correctly with MinimServer but cannot say the same about other available UPnP servers.

You are using Asset and it appears that some commands being sent by Mosaic are not understood by Asset so it will not serve the file for track 1. Why it only happens with DSD64 .dsf files I have no idea.

That brings us to the reboot. Again there seems to be some kind of misinterpretation where a play command is being interpreted as Sleep. It cannot be Power Off as recovery from this requires a manual action. It is not possible via remote as, of course, being unpowered the Bartok cannot then recognise any commands.

I would suggest initially installing MinimServer2 for Windows and MinimWatch2 for Windows.

That will hopefully solve the Play issue. Will it affect the sleep/reboot problem? It is difficult to say as that would not at first sight appear to relate directly to the UPnP server. But it may, for some odd reason, be indirectly connected.
