HD wave to flac conversion does not work

[4Thomas]

Hi all,

I ripped/converted some tracks from a DVD-A to wave format. They play fine on the local computer using VLC but they would not play when streamed to a Linn DS. When I convert the wav to flac it does not play anymore (not even locally). Below is a description of the file using DMC[audio info]. Any idea how I convert such a file, so that a Linn DS would be able to play it.

any help very much appreciated, thanks in advance,

Thomas

It is the Extensible Header which I think the Linn cannot play, there is an option in dBpoweramp Configuration >> Codecs >> Advanced which can disable the writing of the extensible header.
