esp. the JRiver part
Foobar Preferences, Playback, Output, ASIO, Custom Channel Mapping - Add new, Name "ASIO Fireface USB - UCX2", driver ASIO Fireface USB
Analog 1-8 = Left, Right, Center, Lfe, Side Left, Side Right, Surround Left, Surround Right.
There is problem with editing sometimes(wrote about it in another thread), so only add new and save.
Playback, DSP Manager, add some resampler and define target SR 192 for high SR, add Channel Mixer, set delays only, no mixing.
Tools, SACD plugin, Output PCM, Sample rate 88200 kHz, preferable area None.
DVD Audio plugin - preferable area None.
Now you should be able to playback multichannel DVD-A and SACD.
I see Jriver does not have explicit channel mapping, it assigns channels automatically in order as mentioned above in foobar. You have only possibility to switch C and LFE in audio device settings. A bit primitive...
In DSP Studio settings set channels 7.1 (or 5.1), I have no upmix or downmix (I do it in TM), but you can try it in Jriver.
Sample rates higher than 192 set to 192/176kHz.
Check Output format on.
In Room (check it on) you can set distance (delay) for each channel.
Now you should be able to playback multichannel DVD-V, MKV, bluray.
