At this time I use Jriver instead of minimserver as Jriver can transcode AIFF to Wave natively. I don't know if it is a limitation of minimserver or just not done because nobody is requesting that.

I think that the issue is that FFMPEG does not support .aif/.aiff files. These files are supported by MinimServer. One of the many reasons I do not use iOS devices is the paucity (actually, the selfishness) of their format support.

You could convert your AIFF files to ALAC, which is supported in iOS, by MinimStreamer and by your Marantz device.
