The answer is yes, and has been answered at great length over at the
slim devices forums
Short answer
I've just verified that ripping with EAC using FLAC works for HDCD - yay!
My setup consists of an SB3 with a Denon 3805 A/V amp. The 3805 has the ability to decode HDCD. The digital output of my SB3 is connected to the digital in of my Denon 3805, that is, I'm using my 3805 as a decoder and DAC for my SB's digital audio. When I play any of my ripped and FLAC encoded HDCD's, e.g. Dreamland by Madeleine Peyroux, the Denon 3805 indicates that it is playing an HDCD.
