Does dff:dopwav transcode the DSD file in itself?

Continuing the same trend, I see that I cannot seem to play any files with higher frequency than 192khz via the LAN. Double dsd gets downsampled to 176,4 kHz.
Why is that, how is minimstreamer sensing that it needs to downsample files?
I downloaded some test wavs from MSB and lo and behold, anything higher than 192 would not play.

Now, those same files play in native resolution through the USB port just fine, the streamer card in the dac is claimed to be 32/384 capable, so what instructs minimstreamer to send down sampled versions?
Btw, my LAN is a wired 100/100 Ethernet

MinimStreamer doesn't downsample anything unless you tell it to do this in the stream.transcode option.

Perhaps your streamer has a lower maximum resolution on the LAN port than on the USB port. This would not be unusual. If so, the only way to play any WAV files via the LAN that exceed this maximum resolution is to downsample them using the stream.transcode property.

If you are sending Double DSD via MinimStreamer in DoP format, the WAV container format will be 352.8 kHz, not 176.4 kHz. If your streamer can't receive a 352.8 kHz WAV file via the LAN port, you won't be able to play these files via the LAN.

Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer of the streamer and ask them what is the maximum resolution that the streamer can receive via the LAN.
