So what you are saying is the file may arrive bit perfect with Replaygain data installed, but as soon as that data is used to adjust volume in the digital domain then the stream has been altered and is now not bit perfect - I see that yes. But then as soon as my preamp gets the analogue signal...
I thought this might be interesting to post here, as single sentence perceived wisdom can be taken as fact (and so often is in audiophile circles) leading to those less familiar with the terms taking away a misleading impression…

ReplayGain generally has no detrimental effect...
As far as I know Replaygain does not effect things, but then I hear that even though Plex has the Replaygain data and displays it, it uses its own method to alter the volume… it’s seems to be a bit of a law unto itself in lots of respects!
Excellent! 👍 Well as LUMIN are I think the only streamer that supports a native Plex endpoint (I come from Roon so that’s what I call it! 😊) I’m already impressed… WiiM I discovered can only support Plex as a built in streaming service in their app, which is fine.
