Topic: NMT that can play multichannel FLAC...

hope this question wasnt posted yet. modz feel free to merge.

just want to ask your expert knowledge on this.
what NMT can play multichannel hi-rez audio flac files?
i have many sacd, dvd-audio and LP ripped hi-rez files and I want my media streamer to also play it.
i know most NMT can play cd quality and  96kHz flac files but not 192kHz used in multichannel and hi-resolution flacs.
i've read from the internet that HDI Dune HD can play one but its not available here. Linn and Squeezebox have this in their media streamers but its way too expensive.

what else are there? or maybe there is a workaround in playing those files in the current crop of NMTs.

thanks...

If you want me to confirm, I can download samples and test it.

Downloaded the Flac samples and the all play ok.

Multichannel ok
192k ok

You may download them as well to confirm they are the same that you use. Just download a program called mediainfo to compare the samples I tested to your flac files.
