Would a "wav32" Output Type Be Possible?
Hi Simon. I am enjoying MinimServer 2 and experimenting with different transcoding profiles. In the process, I noticed this paragraph in the MinimStreamer user guide:

"For best sound quality, it is recommended that you use the output sample bit depth that matches the maximum capabil[i]ty of your music player. For example, if your music player is a Linn DS, the best match is wav24. Results may vary with different types of music player."

I am streaming from my Melco N1Z/1 via Ethernet to an Auralic Aries G2 streaming transport, which feeds an Auralic Vega G2 DAC via HDMI (or, as Auralic calls it, "Lightning Link"). The Aries G2 and Vega G2 have 32-bit-depth capability. Hence, I tried to set the following transcoding combination:

flac:wav32;

This caused an error message, so I reverted to:

flac:wav24;

Long story short, I was wondering if a "wav32" output type would be possible?

Thanks very much.

Melco HA-N1ZH60 Mk1 (MinimServer 2.2) → USB → Luxman D-07X Black Edition Centennial SACD Player/DAC → XLR → Mark Levinson No. 523 → RCA → JL Audio E-Sub e110 (active crossover @ 100 Hz) → RCA → Bryston 4B3 (Cubed) → Magnepan .7
