Can anyone offer some advice on which is the best server program to use for streaming music. I have used both Plex and J river.

JRiver up samples and changes or encodes all my flac files to WAV on the fly so on my Denon amp when play from media server it says source is WAV.
The sample rate is always 44 or higher even with MP3's this wouldn't bug me but nearly all of my music is now Flac and i don't want it changed all sampled. I also swear i can hear a difference when comparing the same file plugged into the front USB which really bugs me.

Plex is great and doesn't seem to change or alter files when streaming but i can always see the sever on my amp but it is always available on my phone, which is also super frustrating, then when i re start my PC it appears again and works perfectly. I have noticed if i access Plex on my phone first after reset then i cant see server again (maybe a licence issue??).

Any advice would be appreciated
