Ok, this may be a dumb question. And, it is slightly off topic. But, I want to add a DLNA client to my system that will feed my Classe SSP-800 via HDMI with no sample rate conversion or other messing around with the signal. I'd like to primarily feed CD-sourced FLACs (to get rid of clutter and put in storage) and then start getting high resolution FLACs (or AIFFs) of the orchestral variety.
I can't seem to find a universal hardware client that will do this. My PS3 does goofy stuff to it. My Oppo BDP-83 doesn't support it. Amazon Fire TV doesn't go above 48kHz, if you believe it works with FLAC. Right now, Plex Media Server is running on my Linux box and it converts FLACs to LPCM. Not sure if it does any sample rate conversion, but at least I can sample high resolution files via this method. I want a client that requires no conversion when the file is served by Plex via FLAC with the client converting to the original source rate.
Yes, I know about the CP-800 and it would be a great solution if I wasn't into home theater.
Am I dreaming? Or, does it really matter how high resolution audio is converted, as long as it converted to the same sample rate or higher?
