Can MinimServer transcode ALAC to WAV24?

Can MinimServer transcode ALAC to WAV24?

I thought I'd seen somewhere that it can, but I can't get it it to work...

By the way, I'm feeding a Naim Unitiqute from a Synology DS212J...

Not yet. This will be possible soon.

Thanks Simon.

When you say 'soon' do you mean days, weeks, months...?

I would be very, very pleased too, if this will be possible. So I can kick off my 2nd FLAC Library and can switch it all to my iTunes library. Probably I will be able to share my playlists und get my covers into the Marantz app. With my FLAC Files I can't geht any access to the coves using the Marantz app.

Have you confirmed that the Marantz app can get covers from ALAC files when using MinimServer as the server?

The problem is, that the Marantz NA 7004 doesn't support ALAC, therefore I need the LPCM streaming output. I tested it yesterday with the Mac beta of Asset UPnP and it worked fine with my embedded covers.

A few minutes ago I've sent Marantz a request for supporting ALAC native by one of the next firmware updates.

MinimServer supports WAV transcoding (though not yet from ALAC), but it doesn't do LPCM transcoding. When you tested the Marantz with Asset UPnP, were you using LPCM transcoding or WAV transcoding?

I tested WAV transcoding with my FLAC Files with Minim and LPCM with the Asset UPnP. But it was only a short test last night. I'll test it again today with WAV transcoding.

The Marantz can play WAV transcoded files. Before I tested Asset UPnP, I've set the 'transcode' in MinimServer to "WAV24" and it worked just fine with the FLAC Files. But with FLAC I have to create a second library beside my iTunes Library 'cause iTunes and my iPods cannot handle FLAC and the Marantz cannot handle ALAC. So for me it would be very helpful if MinimServer can transcode ALAC to WAV.
