I am trying to understand how volume control is working in this intended setup:
Audio files are stored on Android tablet (FLAC 24bit/96k, 16bit/44k, mp3 and more) and to maintain quality I want to let my reasonable decent receiver do the data processing. I want no transcoding, compression or other interference on the way. To this end I have set up a Google Cast Audio, which has direct spdif/toslink output, that I feed to the receiver.
This works, but I do not understand how the volume level is controllable on the tablet with fixed volume level set on the receiver. Does it mean that MMA is anyway "messing with my digital stream"? Meaning that e.g. the flac files are not untouched from source to decoding in receiver.
Anyone knows?
The files are actually stored on a Synology NAS, and ideally they remained there while MMA would be the front-end "jukebox" interface only having the task of showing music lists, album art, etc and controlling the streaming. Haven't been able to set that up, though.
