Export XAVC-S source with new audio

Greetings.  I am running Premiere Pro CC and familiar with AME.

I am pretty familiar with an HD workflow but have been getting into 4K. I have a pretty powerful current i7 system with 36gig of memory and Nvidia card.

I just want to take my original 15 minute XAVC-S 4K 30fps video, merge my digital recorder audio from a WAV file in Premiere Pro, perhaps just cut the resulting clip beginning and end, and export to the same XAVC-S file output type (assume that would require the least processing?).  It does not have to be XAVC-S but again, I assumed that would take the least rendering and retain the quality.  I won't be adding any video effects.

I have searched the forum and see many posts about how long it takes to render 4K which I get, how to export to HD, but not exactly what I want to do.

Will a "match source" setting work?  So if I choose Export in Pr Pro it will take me to AME. If I choose "match source" there will that work?  That would be obvious to me based on what I did in the HD world but I saw a post about 4K saying this would not work?  A little confused about that.....

I will be playing it on a local network streamer that can pretty much play any format if that helps.

Thanks,
BJBBJB1

What you are seeking is Smart Render.

Smart render is only available on a few formats, XAVC-S not being one of them

Smart Rendering in Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.1, and later), & Premiere Pro CC

    Thanks, so no smart rendering.  Given my situation, what would the recommended 4k preset and codec be to keep the most quality?

    Would it be best and can I still just choose "same as source"  even though I won't get the smart render?
