Asset-Transcode to WAV?

Posted by: ChrisG on 12 June 2018

Hi

 

I currently stream all of my music ripped to FLAC from a NAS (QNAP) using Asset to my Superuniti.

I've read several times that Naim streamers prefer WAV files, so thought I'd try transcoding (is that the right word??) to WAV via Asset. At the bottom of the "Configure" page in Asset there are a number of options under the heading "Audio Format Streaming" is it just a case of ticking the drop down menu against Flac selecting WAV and clicking apply?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

Yes - that is exactly what you would need to do if you want to transcode, ChrisG. Works seamlessly.

Thanks Duncan, thought I'd check before pushing the button!

Yes, I do the same. A while back I did some network tests and proved than the packets on the network were identical between transcoded flat and native wav. So, no compromise.
