To summarise my 'issue' I have four Squeezebox V3s around the house, three of them hooked up to surround receivers via Toslink.
Aaaah.... Now that is an valid reason :)
The Squeezeboxes don't know about multi-channel FLAC, but happily 'pass through' DTS-encoded FLAC to be decoded by the receivers.
You could quite easily alter your SBS/LMS conversion config file to do this for you on the fly. Then one day when your old receivers and/or Squeezeboxes go to the better place in the planned obsolescence heaven, you could just reconfigure your SBS/LMS to stream them directly to your shiny new DLNA or Airplay enabled receivers and retire Squeezeboxes.
And if you got an Oppo 105 or some such DLNA and DSD enabled player, you could stream multi-channel DSD directly to them, without any conversion.
Or any mixture of the above.
In short - on the fly conversion keeps your options open, and allows you to upgrade your listening experience as wanted/needed.
For people who do play ISOs 'directly', at what point (which equipment/software) does the gain-scaling occur to equalise all track volume levels (stereo and multi-channel),
In the mastering studio, in my preference :) Otherwise one can still use replay gain via XML tagging.
and where does the shuffle-by-track (from multiple albums) take place?
In the player app - they see ISO content in exactly the same way as if they where individual fils in an directory. Just that the directory is virtual as it does not physically exist (as it is really inside an ISO file container)
