Gapless playback and transcoding

[Moverall]

Hi, I am trying to achieve gapless playback on my Naim Qute and having searched around I found that it may be connected to the transcoding.
My music is stored as flac and I am currently transcoding to wav at 96hz, which produces a gap on replay.
If I take out the transcoding, it streams at 44hz, but no gap.

I understand that wav files are preferable, but if I can only achieve gapless playback eg live albums, by using flac, I would like to stream at 96hz.

I have tried various transcoding paths, such as flac;96, but these result in an error message.

Thanks for any help.
