Compressed DSD support

[bb-qq]

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have already tried JRiver Media Center, but my requirement was not fulfilled. I would like to share why I want to use MinimServer/MinimStreamer.

- Too heavy to transcode

I've run JMC on Synology DS918+ NAS using VM but its sound is choppy when transcoding to dsf.
wvunpack decompresses wv files at 8x speed when run directly, so I suspect JMC decodes wv files to wav once and re-encoded to DSD.
If my receiver supports DoPE, I will not encounter such a problem...

- Headless support and running natively

MinimServer can be installed using Synology Package Center and it can be run natively. VM is not needed. This is ideal.


If you feel hard to support WavPack files, it is also ok for me if MinimServer/MinimStreamer supports transcoding compressed .dff(DST) to dsf. But I don't know the proper command-line program for converting compressed .dff to .dsf directly.

I guess Minim means minimal and you want to keep the feature set of the program simple. But I believe direct transcoding support to raw dsf helps many users using AV receivers with NAS. Thank you.
