All my 16 *and* 24 bit files are in the AIFF format
All my stereo DSD are in dsf

What Input and output settings for transcoding do I put into stream.transcode to make this work?

Thanks

If you are using BubbleUPnP Server (not the same as the BubbleUPnP control point), you don't need any transcoding settings in MinimStreamer. The transcoding to LPCM 16/44.1 will be done by BubbleUPnP Server.

Not sure about Bubble UPNP transcoding, but it is very easy to set up transcoding in Minimserver. I am using Bubble UPNP to play transcoded 24 bit files via my Sonos.

You asked about settings - excuse me if I'm teaching grandmother to suck eggs here, but ... You need Minimserver, Minimstreamer and Minimwatch installed.

Right click on the Minimwatch icon and select 'Properties'
Then select the 'System' tab
The bottom window of this tab is called stream.transcode
Type: FLAC:wav16
Hit 'Apply'
Rescan the music library

If you want to transcode other filetypes, then use the same format, separating each bit with commas. For example, I have:

FLAC:wav16, AAC:wav16, mp3:wav16

Hope that is of some help.

Yes it does. Well understood. But there is no AIFF:wav16 option in MinimStreamer right? I mean obviously I'd use MinimStreamer as the first option if I could ...

I don't know if Minimstreamer can transcode AIFF (I think not). But if you are keen to use Minimstreamer, why not batch convert all of your AIFF files? I assume that the Batch Converter in dBpoweramp can do this. I've made a copy of my FLAC library converted to MP3 for in-car use. It did, however, take 2 days to convert my 1600+ albums!
