Roon displays flac files as wav files on DirectStream Display

[wklie (Peter Lie)]

This is a feature, not a problem.

Transcode FLAC to WAV?

Roon is designed to decompress the FLAC before sending the PCM data to a DAC. Unless one is using poor WiFi there should not be any downside. However, I have been receiving similar customer enquiries from time to time thinking this behavior is abnormal. I don’t quite understand why they would have a preference for having FLAC to be decompressed by the DAC-side network processor.
