Unless your NAS is running the LMS. > Touch player decodes the file format to convert a binary file to a flow > which can be sent to the spdif interface. I guess that's one way of expressing it. The player takes the file that is sent to it and converts the music data into suitable form for the spdif and DAC. > This spdif flow cannot be produced on NAS server because it is not a > binary flow that can be sent to the local network. Well, it is a binary flow, but perhaps not suited for the network in it's raw form. > I was sure the spdif flow corresponded to the PCM format but it seems > PCM is just another audio file format. Well, all audio data is encoded in some way when in digital format. spdif is a way to transmit PCM data to a DAC. > So, there is a last point it is not clear.
