Hi I was away for Plex for a bit, my apologies that I left without replying to your mail. You PM’d me the log files, thanks.
While I’d like to comment on how your system is handling hi res files, I can’t yet tell what it’s doing because your PMS is overcome by a missing audio track. The result when it can’t find the file is it repeats trying to find and analyze the file, non-stop, filling your logs and leaving an unstable system. Here is what I mean:

Fix these and anything similar.

For fixing that, I guess you will have to Plex Dance the album.
As far as everyone still having the problem of music not being Direct Played, we should definitely keep perusing this against the most recent PMS beta. To do a good job, we need well crafted log files that express the issue. Anybody can follow these directions and post log files.
I’m having temporary difficulties here recreating your problem because I need to upgrade my AV Receiver. I was going to grab the Wirecutter pick, which is a Denon AVR-X3500H but if someone has a good suggestion, please let me know. That Pioneer Elite SC-99 must be a treat, but it’s a bit more than I’d like to spend. I just got finished making a Burr-Brown DAC with a Raspberry Pi for my old NAD with analog inputs. That’s off topic though.
Let’s start using for this thread two public hi-res test tracks from Headroom or somewhere that are 24/192 2ch and 5.1ch. That way the devs will have their own copies once we enumerate the issue. For video I use jell.yfish.us but for audio I don’t know where those are atm.
Thanks. I look forward to some clean logs and your suggestions.
