Roon displays flac files as wav files on DirectStream Display

[WiWavelength (Andrew J Shepherd)]

@AndersVinberg

The “WAV” display is the fault of the DAC, not of Roon.
What the DAC gets is not a WAV file, it’s a PCM stream.
A pure error in the display.

Yup, answered for another confused PS Audio user yesterday.

Does Roon Transcode FLAC to WAV? [Answered - Roon decodes the file and streams PCM (or DSD)]

The PS Audio display is not correct either. WAV is a file format for PCM. But Roon does not push files. Roon sends streams, either PCM or DSD. AJ

Not sure why this “issue” popped up twice all of a sudden.
