About to build a new music server

[r042wal]

I recently discovered my newly purchased Bridge II card will only do single layer DSD (DSD64). This present a problem for me because most of my music collection is DSD128. I heard MinimServer with the 'stream' option will do transcoding on the fly. What kind of latency can I expect with this install on a QNAP TS-251D? Does MinimServer convert to WAV instead of transcoding down to DSD64?

Currently when I try to play a DSD128 file through my Bridge II it sounds terrible. My PSA DAC tells me the sampling rate is only 88 KHz when normally it is 176.4 KHz. Also, the selection sound like 'mono', not stereo.

My current music server sits beside my PSA DAC and is connected by coax. The reproduction is amazing so now I'm asking myself how badly do I need to stream music off my server when I can connect to it directly. If I build a QNAP / MinimServer, I will lose this option. Any opinions?

Thanks
