Fantastic, but only for Mac, right? No software atm for Win that can handle 8+ channels afaik...??

Jriver, wake up..😉

Jriver can do 8+ channels with the proper hardware.  The channel selection drop-down lists formats up to 40 channels.  Why do you think it is restricted?

There is no such limitation now. I never knew there was one previously either. FLAC is limited to 8 channels, without special encoding like Auro, but WAV isn’t. 

I have 40 channel files in WAV and in DSF, fwiw.

It actually is. Not for audio-only files, the play fine.

OK but that proviso was not in the statement to which I responded.

Thank you for revealing that distinction and providing the links.
