MinimServer Digital Attenuation

[jorgemg1984]

Hi!

I've been using MinimServer for quite a whilte and recently started using the premium version.

I'm doing some digital attenuation to help with intersample overs and using the "convOut=-af volume=-6dB" code in stream.options, using the transcoding to wav32 and ffmpeg.

I would like to know, if possible, how is this digital attenuation done. I know Roon and Foobar do it at 64-bit floating point, and ESS Sabre chips do it at 32-bit and all these options have no impact on sound quality - in all mi tests it even improves because of the extra digital headroom.

In MinimServer, assuming it's done after transcoding, is it done at 32-bit? Is it lossless? To my ears, I hear no degradation, just curious.

Many thanks!
