Minm server on QNAP

[cheeTarh]

I noticed it after a while after waking up, but I came up with one point to confirm. Sorry for continued questions.

My previous setting: +stream.transcode = flac:wav, dff:dopwav, dsf:dopwav

This is because , as you may know, JPLAY handles only WAV and DOP for DSD. When I made this profile, I had these.

Renderer: JPLAY FEMTO
DAC: OPPO Sonica DAC


However, currently, I have these.

Renderer: SOtM sMS-200 neo
DAC: OPPO Sonica DAC

In my understanding, these can handle not only FLAC, but also DSD Native. Am I wrong? Do I still need MinimStreamer?
Strangely, this morning, at least a DSF 5.6Mbps file can be played properly.

I am OK to pay your reasonable fees for your great work, but I would like to know for what I pay.

If you are able to play all your files on your new renderer without transcoding, you should be able to use MinimServer 2 with a full license and without MinimStreamer.

Some users find that transcoding FLAC to 24-bit WAV on the server improves sound quality. You might be interested to try a comparison to see if you can hear a difference.

The other major feature of MinimStreamer is its ability to play radio streams that use a variety of different formats. Also, MinimStreamer's support for FFmpeg enables processing of the audio stream such as volume normalisation and room correction.

Regarding the cost of MinimStreamer, the cost of a MinimServer 2 full license includes all MinimServer updates and access to MinimStreamer for the first 12 months. After this, there is a small annual fee if you want to continue receiving updates to MinimServer and this annual fee also includes continued access to MinimStreamer.

Thanks for your detailed explanation, Simon.
