Hello,
In playback options i set the signal to go as DSD Direct. My avr, Marantz SR6012 supports all sorts of audio formats. I am not sure why it is reciving signal as PCM.
I have RPi 3 B+, audio over HDMI to AVR.
I am using Radio Paradise plugin and flac stream.
I am also playing my flac files from NAS.
I dont seem to get bitstream to my AVR. I would like my AVR to decode all audio.
What is not right?
Hi Anatakar!
If your not using a sacd player Im pretty sure that your Marantz SR6012 only supports dsd via usb front or network connections.
Playing music from a computer via hdmi to your Marantz will allways show you pcm in display. Tip read more how hdmi works.
There are two digital dacs inside your reciver.
First dac is dedicated mostly for movies but also ok for music. Connections via - hdmi,toslink, coax etc.
Second dac is for highres music and in your case the better dac. Connections via - usb or network (cabel/wifi).
Now, if you play through the highress dac the format will sound right (no downsampling) and also it will most likely show up in recivers display like this: FLAC,WAV,DSD,PCM + KHz etc…
Voilà! 
Here is my workaround.
If Volumio 2 and the RPi 3 B+ is the only option buy a internal or external dac (with display) then hook it up analog via “rca” to your marantz.
If Volumio 2 is not so importent another way is to install Heos app on your webtablet/phone (Read Marantz SR6012 manual ). A really good app for your Marantz! Then share music folder/hdd via computer/nas/router.
Cheers!
