Simon, I think you and "miska", from CA, should "have dinner" some time.
You have a solution that could be the perfect "host" for his conversion/transcoding code, that he runs on HQPlayer.
He prefers to apply upsampling and digital filters on software, and then have the "treated audio" consumed by a suitable DAC...
Only one thing divides you, you work with UPNP/DLNA, he hates it!

I can see that the great talents of both would combine perfectly to make the best server and playback system...

Is it technically possible to have a place in MinimServer open for these plugins for added functionality...

This would be technically possible with the next release of MinimServer. The plugin would need to be an executable that takes DSD from its standard input stream and writes PCM to its standard output stream (or vice versa). This is similar to converter programs like ffmpeg and avconv.
