Does Emby support streaming HD Audio with no transcoding?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a bunch of HD audio (>16bit/44.1Khz) in FLAC format. I would like to be able to stream this from Emby through various clients (Mac, AppleTV, iPhone) to an external DAC without transcoding ether at the server or client.

 

Does Emby support this?

Hi.  This will be highly dependent on the devices being used.  Are you all Apple devices?

this is possible but may require a manuell set up or adjustment of DLNA profiles.

I found that older Sonos devices may accept HD media up to 48khz and 24 bit.

This is playing well. Higher quality is not played back.

 

My Pioneer receiver is able to playback 192khz or 176khz SACD files.

On this I can playback the better quality files.
