Now obviously direct DSD streaming via uPnP would be ideal, but since nothing is happening on that front I am looking at a "plan B"

Permanent file conversion to PCM via Foobar has been mentioned for this in other forums, though I am yet to try this....

I've looked into this, and I don't see any practical option at the moment for supporting this in MinimServer.

For offline conversion, the best tools seem to be Saracon and Audiogate. For real-time streaming, you can try foobar and JRiver.

Q/ Why would I want to real time stream with Foobar or JRiver when I have MinimServer?

Saracon costs over 1K and Audiogate just does Stereo
