hem... Even if I'm probably a mooron for you, I could not understand where is the benefit of transcoding to DSD and than decode back to PCM on the client, but sure is not a bit perfect process and sure you could not say that sound is the same, at the end. So, why is a mooron who is "telling you that PCM transcoded to DSD sounds better than the original PCM content" the only confutable world in this sentence is "better", use "different" instead and is completely correct. Or I'm wong? If so, where? I dislike this way to blame people just becouse they value things you don't care about. By the way, I really think nobody is giving a similar advice, sure not me, that I'm not behind Daphile, but at the idea that transcoding and resampling, if needed, are better performed server side, starting from this idea i've released the R2 modification of squeezelite, used also by Daphile and other, but quite sure even Kimmo is not.
