Just wanted to thank you again for explaining the correlation between the codec and the "decoded to".
I have switched to using Air Music on my Android phone as it has many more options, is cleaner than all other apps and has a magisk module which I can smoothly run on my rooted phone. The only question I have, since I am using it to stream to moOde via UPnP just like I used to with the other apps I tested, somehow it always streams via LPCM so moOde no longer sees the original codec so it decodes like this:
Keep in mind, this is the same .m4a file being played as above. Am I losing quality anywhere? I can't hear a difference to the other app where it was being decoded to 24 bit and Output at 32 bit.
I don't care that it also no longer streams any information about what is being played as I'm the only user and I can see what I am playing on my phone.

Listening with the latest moOde on a RPI zero w with a MiniBoss DAC PCM5122 32bit 384kHz and a Volt+ AMP on a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 100 speakers.
