This has to do with Bit streaming or letting the PC and J River do the decoding. If you bit stream to your receiver the receiver will recognize the format and switch automatically, it sounds like your xbmc uses bit streaming.
When using J River to do the decoding it is sent as PCM.

so i guess the question is. do i let jriver do the decoding. or my nice new receiver. probably asked a million times.

I, and many others, were in the same boat as you at one point. I, and many others, let J River do it.
You can try both. Set up room correction in the DSP and switch between bit streaming and Waspi. You could also set up 2 different Zones each with their own settings to compare.
