Does Fiio X3 play six channel audio ?
The X3 and X1 (and I assume the X5) will actually play 5.1 channel WAV files. It's obviously a fold-down to 2 channels. But at least you can listen to the music. It seems to only work on WAV files. I tried ALAC, FLAC and AIFF, and it didn't work. These were files created with DVD Audio Extractor.
Someone else here (I think on the X1 thread) was able to play files pulled from DTS Audio CDs. I tried that, but only got it to work on the first track of the DTS albums. (It's still curious that it actually decoded the DTS at all!)
I stopped experimenting with this, since I don't have much use for files that can't play in other players, and don't have a 5.1 channel setup.
