Hi, is there any way to do on the fly transcoding to WAV with DLNA? I see the Encoder: Uncompressed 24bit option but I'd like to only transcode FLAC to WAV and not change the bit depth or resample/upsample.

Thanks!

Does your receiver (dlna renderer) support wav on DLNA ? I am not sure if wav is part of what dlna can stream.
Did you try 'L16 - noheader' ?

[mantis07]

yes, my PS Audio PWD will play WAV from DLNA. L16 will resample if I want to play 24bit files. I only want to transcode FLAC(16 or 24) to WAV without any other processing.

thanks

If your hardware supports 24bit, just convert everything to 24bit.

More on this and why it's a good idea here:

yes, I understand that but it still doesn't answer my question   Is it possible to just transcode?

thanks

Is it possible to just transcode?

I think you might need to define what you mean by 'just transcode'.

You can select 'Uncompressed 24bit' and it will output your WAV, FLAC, and anything else in the ideal format (use the PC for decompression, and maintain the most precision supported by your hardware).

I want FLAC to come out WAV - without it changing 16 to 24bit. The PSAudio Elyric program has a "Transcode on the fly" option. When I try a 16/44 FLAC file with MC I get 24/44 WAV - I want 16/44 WAV if it's possible.

thanks

The conversion from 16bit to 24bit is lossless, so there's no reason to not just output 24bit if your hardware supports it.

I'd like to be able to do this too. I want Redbook FLAC to transcode on the fly to Redbook WAV and sent over the network to my PWD DAC.
