Marantz NA7004 & Hi-Res FLAC

[Rasmussen]

...And... it turns out that Simon was right all along.

We now know why Asset wasn't triggering the NA7004 bug. Because it was, after all, transcoding.

I thought it wasn't because I had misinterpreted Asset's audio streaming setting. It turns out that Asset's "as is" means that a FLAC file can be streamed as FLAC, LPCM, or WAV, the choice being made by the player or perhaps the control point. One has to choose "as is single" to stream FLAC as FLAC and nothing else. Once that is done, Asset triggers the NA7004 bug as reliably as Minim.
