When the Q10 Pro was first announced we were told it would have DSD/DFF playback. So far only the HibyMusic app seems to offer a workable solution to play back multichannel DFF files, but only via the USB port to an external USB DAC?
Has anyone managed to get a Multichannel DSD output via HDMI to a DSD-compatible A/V-receiver?
Are there any other hifi enthusiasts out there that would love to see the HiMedia Q10 Pro be their one-stop solution for playback of various HD formats (BD Pure Audio iso, DFF files, DVD-Audio iso and multichannel FLAC for example).

Was requested earlier and you are not the only one waiting for it. Himedia also knows it was announced as a feature and confirmed it is on their todo list. HDMI-CEC is another item in the same category.
They are ironing out first the audio/video glitches and problems. So there is hope it will all come. This before going to the wish list I presume.

HibyMusic will play SACD .iso files using HDMI.
I am uncertain if latest firmware did something but when testing with HibyMusic (after the recent upgrade) the remote no longer changed volume on SACD (which is a good sign) :)
I have used Media Center to successfully play back (to my Yamaha AVR) PureAudio Blu-ray .iso and 5.1 & 2.0 FLAC @ 88.6KHz, 96KHz & 192KHz files extracted from SACD and PureAudio. It also plays high bit-rate .aiff files.
There were some issues with muti-channel AAC but that is a stunted codec, at best ::)

Did not see any changes with FW 1.05 regarding this topic. Tried my test files again but did not see anything behaving differently.
HibyMusic will not output DSD via HDMI, but will re-encode instead (yes at least some sound is produced). Also this works as before.
