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.
