Flac - Aug 2007 - Denon AVR-5308CI with FLAC decoding!

I just read on Gizmodo that the new Denon AVR-5308CI will include FLAC
decoding!

According to the text, it supports "USB inputs for bus-powered HDD, along
with AAC, FLAC, WMA Lossless, MP3 and WAV decoding"

Very happy to see FLAC being supported by a big name like Denon!

Josh (or anyone else), curious if you know to what extent the support is
offered or if you have any further information as to the implementation in
this receiver?  Does it support true lossless or is it a work around design
with transcoding or other algorithms?

Thanks!

I have not heard anything about this, but will look into it...
thanks for the info!
