No, using jplay, PC#2 is only communicating with PC#1, not my local network.

PC#1 only has 1 Ethernet port. I use a usb to Ethernet adapter to connect PC#1 to the local network via the wireless bridge. The Ethernet ports on PC#1 & 2 are used to just communicate with each other on its own separate network.

I see.

Simon, if I don't specify a ; after flac:wav24 what algorithm does Minimserver use to transcode?

It decompresses the FLAC file losslessly into the original 16/44.1 PCM audio, then adds 8 bits of zero padding to extend each sample to 24 bits.

Ok, I may be I am nuts but when I use the ; after flac:wav24; it seems to bring the warmth and weight to music using Minimserver on the NAS. I use the ffmpeg binary that is already loaded onto the Qnap in the stream.converter property.

I am surprised by this as the transcoding output should be the identical (if you don't have anything specified for convOut). I have just compared the bit streams from transcoding a test file with and without the semicolon and confirmed that they are identical.

I would be interested to know what happens if you do an offline conversion from FLAC to WAV24 using dBpoweramp and stream the WAV file from the NAS using MinimServer.

I'm probably just hearing things!
