Thanks for checking this. This means there is a bug/limitation in the renderer's support for WAV files. The WAV spec allows a file size up to 4294967295 (2**32-1) but the renderer is only accepting a file size up to 2147483647 (2**31-1). This is presumably because the renderer is treating the file size field of the WAV header as a signed integer instead of an unsigned integer.

Quote:FWIW the Resolution Audio folks reported that the renderer does not support Internet radio streaming, but they were happy to know of this solution in MinimServer and will pass it on to their customers who wish to use this feature with their renderer.

It would be good if Resolution Audio could fix the renderer firmware to allow a maximum WAV file size of 2**32-1. If they can do this, it would allow the MinimServer *:wav transcode setting to work with this renderer. Also, the maximum playing time would be doubled to about 400 minutes.
