DSD and 44.1/16 only. Other bitrate PCM = silence...

I can play DSD64 (don't have any other rates right now) and 44.1/16 files. BUT I cannot play anything else apart from 44.1/16 and DSD64. It's crazy. I cannot play say Apple Lossless 96/24 files or any other sample rate for example. All this while this is happening, the display on my DAC just shows 44.1/16, the timing bar keeps moving but there's just no music coming out. Once I select another song which is ACTUALLY at 44.1/16 it starts playing again.

Can anyone let me know if I have something setup wrong? Is this something about the while stream.transcode thing? I'm not a Unix person so I'd really appreciate getting this thing set up right – to these ears, bridge sounds better than my USB set up.

All the files scanned okay when I start minimserver so I'm not sure what's going on.

Please help, many thanks in advance,

This sounds like a problem with the PS Audio bridge. Perhaps you need to change some configuration setting there. Unless you have transcoding enabled, MinimServer will send files to the control point and renderer in their original native resolution.
