Hi
There is no sound card on my RPi3, just ethernet out to the router, the NAS and the Transporter which handles streaming and DAC.
The LMS codec settings for FLAC filetype are all at default: AIFF=flac, FLAC=native, MP3=flac/lame, PCM=flac.
Recall that the flac encoder used by HDTracks was “Lavf57.34.103”. If I re-encode those files (hires flac to hires flac) with dbPoweramp (which is currently using flac encoder version 1.3.1), then the files will play.

Note that the original Lavf57.34.103 files can be played on Win7 software players like Foobar2000 and MPC-HC, but I don’t know if they are „native“ or are transcoding in the background.
