Node 2 and FLAC 5.1 files?

Does anyone happen to know whether the Node 2 can support FLAC 5.1 files played to my Denon surround receiver?

I do not believe so. Check the Bluesound forum.

Dealer confirmed no mult channel support.

So, anyone know of a Roon endpoint that will handle FLAC 5.1 files when connected to my Denon surround receiver? Something in the under $500 range? Maybe PC/NUC is my only option?
