Music won't play on Roberts radio

My Linn gets Wav24 and the radios work again.

(Forgive the vagueness. I am writing this on my iPad and all PCs are switched off so I can't run MinimWatch to look up the exact transcode entry.)

(Whilst the Linn and the Robertss work just fine, I also have a Cambridge Audio Minx xi in the conservatory and this will not work with this transcode setting. It tries to render the 24-bit wavs but keeps choking. Tracks stop half way through. It seems to think that in can hande 24-bit when, in fact, it cannot. The only solution that I have found for this is to run a parallel installation of Twonky just for the Minx.)

You might be able to solve the Minx issue by using the transcoding setting 'flac:L16/wav24/-'. With this setting:

The Minx should choose the first it can handle (L16)

The Linn should choose the first it can handle (wav24)

The Roberts should choose the first it can handle (L16 or -)

Which control point do you use when playing to the Linn and the Minx?
