Could a profile for a Sony STR-DN1040 network enabled receiver be created that streams the media as lossless FLAC instead of lossy MP3?
I don't know about the other receivers in the STR lineup, but the STR-DN1040 supports FLAC at 8 kHz-192 kHz, 16 bit & 44.1 kHz-192 kHz, 24 bit.
I have been able to play 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz, 16 bit files native if I disable the transcoding function for the receiver in Mezzmo. I have 500+ CD's that were ripped on a Home Theater PC in a WMA Lossless format and I really don't want to have to re-encode them all. I was hoping Mezzmo would be able to transcode them to FLAC as they are played.
From a music quality point of view, I would think it would be better to use a lossless format as opposed to a lossy format.
Thanks for any reply,
Steve.
P.S. If FLAC has been troublesome in the past then what about WAV???
