convOut is involved if you are using a converter (ffmpeg), regardless of whether or not you are resampling. The MinimStreamer user guide gives details of which transcoding combinations use a converter. Transcoding from FLAC to WAV24 without resampling doesn't use a converter unless you append a semicolon, i.e., specify 'flac:wav24;' instead of 'flac:wav24'.

I would not expect resampling from 44.1 to 88.2 (with or without libsoxr) to improve the sound but this might depend on which renderer you are using.

So the bottom line is that you are doing a fair test (no resampling or ffmpeg in either case) and for some unexplained reason there is better sound quality when streaming the same bits from the NAS via SMB instead of via HTTP.
