@td19 If you were in the UK I would come over and give you a big hug for your advice!! You are a star!!

For anyone with a K50 on the K50 I have enabled the C-3PO plugin on the Server. It is to be accessed through the Server Settings in Material. For me it was listed in the Inactive Plugins. After selecting and Saving I did a hard restart of the K50. Now I have a 705kHz file playing perfectly happily through Squeeze Server and Squeezelite Player (no Roon). It is 6am here and the rest of the house is still asleep so SQ assessment will have to wait until later.

Thank you for pointing out the location of C-3P0 Transcoder Helper.
When I save the Transcoder Helper configuration the file plays but there is no sound.
If I uncheck the option and save I continue to get silence and have to reinstall Squeeze and it then plays the file [w/o Transcoder Helper]
The menu on my CX looks like this

Make sure it’s enabled on this page.

Do you now see C-3P0 listed in the list of ‘Active’ plugins? If not you may need to restart your Antipodes?

Thank you again Kennyb123 and Triode User for your support.
By pure luck I found that my three 44.1/16 AAIF files and two 352.8 WAV files play with sound but my FLAC files only appear to play with no sound.
Here are some screen shots including lastly, a C-P30 Transcoding screen from the Player Settings -

Hmmn, well ive been out all day and am just back. There is a bit of a snag. It seems to be upsampling to 16FS even when fed redbook. We have guests over and I’m on the road from 6am for most of the day so i might not get to investigate until later on Sunday.

No worries my friend. I appreciate your response. I have only gotten my DAC to play up to 352.8 WAV and in pre 846/850 build when Roon had DSP Transcoding it played up to 384. If in fact Squeeze is upsampling FLAC files to 16FS then that would be it. I'm in no rush to get this working so please enjoy your weekend

Got it!
Unchecked 16FS and it's playing. Thanks guys.

I dont get that interface. This is what i get.

It appears that C-3PO aims to enable upscaling. Is there a way to pass 705.6/768 files without it attempting to do that?

Please let me know if you'd like me to share files with you to assist in your experimenting. Your assistance is much appreciated.

I don't know a great deal about C-3PO, and especially why it must be enabled for a remote Squeezelite player but not for a local one. However I have found that my 768 track will play with these C-3PO .wav settings:

So possibly it only resamples if it needs to.

What is strange is that we all seem to have different settings interfaces. Does anyone have any success with the K50. At the moment the top of the range model seems to have the least success.

I reverted to the Default skin ... here is the same in Material:

It sure does sound transparent so that may very well be the case. I would love to see the CPU utilization.
