How to disable minimserver on Melco NA1

A FLAC file uses lossless compression and contains exactly the same audio information as the corresponding transcoded WAV stream or file.

There are some theories on why the WAV version might sound better. (Disclaimer: this might vary with the equipment used and some people do not hear any difference.) My own view is as follows: The system resource needed to decompress the FLAC file causes extra processing load on the device that is used to do the decompression. If this device is the same device that is playing the audio, this extra processing load can affect sound quality. (Disclaimer: I am not an audio engineer and this is only a theory.)

It should not be possible for the use of a different control point to affect the sound. This is because the renderer streams audio data directly from the server without the control point being involved.
