MinimServer comparison with Synology Media Server

[david]

The tagging and browsing system of Minimserver seems quite interesting, compared to Synology's server. However I currently run them in parallel on the same music library and streaming the same file to the same audio equipment results in a more detailed sound from the Synology server.

I disabled transcoding on both servers and most of my library is in ALAC format.

Does anyone have an explanation or solution? I'd like to switch to minim server, but not at the expense of sound quality.
