Are there any default settings for transcoding I may not be aware of? I do not set my servers to transcode. MinimStreamer shows up in the "Available packages" but not in the "Installed packages", so it's definitely not installed.

I've no idea what CPU the NA7004 has, so no idea if it has or hasn't an FPU. But this proposition doesn't answer the following questions.

(1) Why does the problem occur only in some hi-res FLACs, and not in all? I re-encoded myself to level 8 a couple of FLACs which did not exhibit this problem, and it still wasn't there.

(2) Why doesn't the problem occur when the same files are served by Asset?

and, most importantly,

(3) Why didn't the problem occur with MinimServer v0.8.4?
