Melco Audiophile NAS

If you are playing to the TT2 via the Melco USB output, you are limited to 32-bit 384 kHz. MinimStreamer transcoding is also currently limited to 384 kHz although this could be increased if necessary.

I have tried using MinimStreamer to transcode a 16/44.1 FLAC file to 32/352.4 WAV on my Melco (same model as yours) and the file does play. I am unable to try this with higher sample rates because I don't have a DAC that can handle these sample rates.

I am not sure whether the default Melco setting for USB-DAC / DSD playback mode (Standard) will send markerless DSD to your TT2. The Melco user manual says this will send markerless DSD to DACs that support Melco Markerless DSD. Looking at the list on this page, no CHORD DACs are listed as being compatible with Markerless DSD playback. For a definitive answer on this, you would need to contact Melco.

To completely remove MinimStreamer and ffmpeg from your Melco, open the MinimServer configuration web page, then select the MinimStreamer tab and click the Remove button.
