    Hi Eduardo

    BluOS does not support multichannel audio at this time. All BluOS playback is traditional 2.1 channel audio. This includes our good friends at NAD Electronics' impressive AV Amplifiers and Receivers. Your feedback has been passed along for future consideration...

    Hi Tony,

    Thanks for coming back, but now I am a little confused...

    You are telling me there's no way to get the new NODE (N330) to play my multichannel FLAC library?

    I have two flex 2i as Rear speakers, a sub+ and two B&W front speakers. Just waiting for the N330 to arrive.

    I am confused because if I play some multichannel files only using the two flex 2i (I know it is just for fun - as I don't have the N330 yet - hence no 4.1 yet), I can clearly hear that the "stereo 2is" play only "some part of the vocals and instruments". I assumed that when the N330 arrives and I can connect my 2 front speakers, the system would play my songs in "4.1". Am I wrong? Thanks!

    Hi Tony,

    No way to play the 5.1 FLACS then? I have it all in an SSD, I can either NAS or use the USB.

    And what about this (surround sound group)?

    Thanks,

    The songs will play, but you are only hearing 2.1

    Some of us with 3.0 or 5.1 files (DSD from SACD) are REALLY MISSING option to play our music.

    With coax cable the node could be compatible with 5.1 DSD ... Christmas is coming soon... you can do it!

    But I will buy a new device if I can stream AMAZON ATMOS Music,as you might have to go hdmi output to support this. This is a niche opportunity, I do not think any device would stream AMAZON ATMOS music today, you have the opportunity to be the first one!
