I'm not entirely sure it's possible, and I keep meaning to check with one of my own DTS CDs and I keep forgetting. The problem is that, as far as I know, the Squeezebox cannot handle 96khz/24 bit, which is the format for most DTS music that I know of. A shame, too, as I have a lot of vinyl laying about that I plan on converting to 96/24, and I hate to have to have it in both formats. In any case, the only other thing you can check is that you don't have SlimServer set up to do any transcoding to these WAV files. Settings for this are under Home/Server Settings/File Types on the SlimServer interface (at least in 6.1.1) or you can edit the convert.conf file located somewhere in the SlimServer installation directory. Then look at Home/Player Settings/Audio and make sure that "Bitrate Limiting" is set to "No Limit" for the player that you are streaming to. Make sure to press the "Change" button after changing settings.
