It's a big file, 2.7gb.

The AIFF format is limited to files less than 2 GB long because it uses a signed 32-bit integer for the chunk length. This file exceeds this limit.

Some programs might treat the chunk length field as a 32-bit unsigned integer and allow a chunk length of less than 4 GB. I could do this in MinimServer but you might have problems when playing the file.

Understood. I have not had any trouble playing the file though - albeit locally from a hard drive rather than served but I don't see why this would matter.

It would be nice if you could add an option in minimserver that would effectively be more error tolerant with AIFF (i.e. like an options in Properties). Presumably you'd want to ignore the errors in this thread - none of which have caused any errors during playback as far as I can tell. I have used iTunes, Audirvana (1&2), JRiver (20, on mac) and Amarra (2&3 on mac) without any problems.
