Transcoding and OPPO BDP-105 Playback

[vinyljunkee]

I am brand new to the forum so please excuse me if this has been asked somewhere else. I am using MinimServer on a QNAP NAS connected via wired ethernet to an OPPO BDP-105. I use the OPPO Media app on my iPad and iPhone, accessing MinimServer on the NAS for file access and playback (Flac files....high resolution and CD quality)

Firstly, for other OPPO users out there is this the best method that you have found for high resolution music playback?

Secondly, can I be assured that the OPPO is seeing the full Flac file for processing and playback, versus some sort of transcoding that the MinimServer application might be performing.

Sorry again if this is a dumb question but I am confused by what I am seeing on this forum and others about transcoding.

Thank you,
