There isn't any way to exclude hi-res files from transcoding.

The DS211+ has a 1.6 GHz ARM processor, which should be fast enough to transcode 192/24 FLAC to WAV on the fly. I am running MinimServer on a 1.2 GHz ARM NAS (QNAP TS-119) and this is able to transcode 192/24 FLAC to WAV with about 20% CPU consumption. Is there some other software running on your NAS and consuming a significant amount of CPU and/or memory? You can see this by logging in with SSH and using the 'top' command.

Another possibililty is that you might be running the wrong version of Java. You need to use the Oracle EJRE, not the OpenJDK JRE. The OpenJDK JRE for ARM is about 5x slower than the Oracle EJRE for ARM for a CPU-intensive workload.
