The Marantz N6006 looks like a nice streamer, but the published spec I found does not indicate support for Ogg Vorbis. I assume then when using Spotty, slimserver will transcode the Spotify Ogg Vorbis stream to 705 kbps FLAC and stream that to the N6006 client. This is a reasonable outcome. Transcoding to AAC - another lossy format, can only result in degradation of the incoming stream. Looking at the slimserver convert.conf file, it does not appear there are any rules for transcoding to AAC, but I imagine a custom rule could be added using [sox] that would do this. It would have to be sox, as faac is not included in the slimserver package. *Living Room:* SB Touch + DIY PSU > CI Audio VDA.2 DAC + VAC.1 PSU > VRX.1 cables > Emotiva XSP-1 Gen 2 preamp + XPA-DR2 amp > Blue Jeans cables > B&W 804 speakers *Laptop:* System76 Galago + Ubuntu 16.04 + Squeezelite + Vivaldi/Material Skin > Emotiva Little Ego DAC > Grado PS500 headphones *Bedroom:* RPi Zero W + Squeezelite > miniBOSS DAC HAT > Bose SoundLink Revolve *Phone:* Pixel 3a + SB Player + Material APK > Senn IE80 earbuds *Server:* Puget Systems Serenity + Ubuntu 18.04 + LMS 8.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111923 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
