Can anyone advise if they are able to stream FLAC formatted files to their Onkyo (models 08 or older)? I'm sure I've read that this is possible.
I have an Onkyo PR-SC5508 (pre/pro version of the 5008) and can stream WAV and MP3 files from a Popcorn Hour used as a NAS server, but FLAC files just aren't displayed.
The Onkyo instruction manual reads (page 70): 'For remote playback, this product does not support the following music file formats: FLAC and Ogg Vorbis.'
I'm not clear what this means as the manual also reads (page 69): 'For server playback, the AV controller supports the following music file formats: MP3, WMA, WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, AAC and LPCM. Not all servers support all formats'.
I'm confused and would like to clarify if the issue is with my Onkyo AV processor or the Popcorn Hour.
Can anyone put me out of my misery?
Cheers
Steve
