DNS-323, FLAC, and the PS3
« on: February 25, 2009, 10:57:38 AM »
I am curious about the best way to stream FLAC files to my PS3 from my DNS-323. I understand that the built-in server is not an option because it can't transcode to wav, but Twonky and Mediatomb might be viable options. Is it true that neither can transcode FLACs out of the box but can with some additional work? If they can with additional programming, how would I enable that function? Also, what are the pros and cons of these two products for FLAC streaming?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The UPnP server will not stream FLAC files.  (or .aac or .m4a or .m4v or .mkv)

The PS3 won't play FLAC files even if the 323 served them up.  You need a UPnP server that can transcode the FLAC files into something the PS3 could understand (e.g. WAV).  Problem is the 323 isn't powerful enough to do this on its own, you need a PC.
