Hi,
I cannot find a way to disable music transcoding. My odroid coreelec kodi box is connected via HDMI to a marantz AVR which is capable of playing 192/24 flac files and dsf files as well. However when I play these files, it seems they are transcoded (in the case of dsf they are set to half speed or something very slow). Is there a way to disable transcoding for these formats? I did not find any settings for this, or a solution in the forums.
Thanks in advance.

Both of those file types are decoded to PCM because it's not possible to send them otherwise over HDMI. What form of PCM will depend on the device capabilities but the max that HDMI can handle is 192/24.

Thank you. well, then upnp is the goto for hires music playing (unfortunately no multichannel there).
