The transcoding I think that would be useful would be

1: Transcoding a DSD file to a PCM file.. so we wouldn't have to use DoP and manually convert DSD files to DoP FLAC files.. Also this would allow us to play DSD files on PCM equipment (without having to run two libraries of files)

2: Transcoding 24/192 PCM files to 16 Bit files…so We could use Sonos to play ALL our files. Including the 24Bit ones.

Is either of these options possible?

Following on from this, I notice you can now access a music library directly served up on a QNAP NAS *within* the Sonos menu structure!

ie When I go to the "select a Music Source" within Sonos, my QNAP appears as a source.. (Mine is called QNAPMusic)..and presto: I can navigate straight into the files structure:

Can you see where I am going here!!! If MinimServer appeared as a Source within Sonos and MinimServer could transcode 24bit PCM and DSD files into 16 bit on the fly…well *THAT* would be awesome!!!

So I'm confused about all the transcoding options.

Is there a summary?
