Thank you very much indeed. I have set my stream.transcode property to "flac:wav24-2gb, mp3:wav24-2gb, aac:wav24-2gb", and the aac and mp3 (Linn) streams in my radio playlist play perfectly. I'm going to experiment separately with the [R3DASH] FLAC stream (see below).

Your diagnosis fits in with my recollection that this problem only arose after the rewritten Linn firmware (Davaar 50+) was released. If Linn ever fix the bug, will I need to change the stream:transcode property again?
