Yes I can confirm the Q5 does not play FLAC files correctly.
It would also be useful if both bit rate and sampling freq were dispayed. Perhaps this could be added when the bug is fixed.
Thanks.

Please note:

The 24th April 1.0.8 Firmware has not fixed this bug so it needs to be carried over to the next build.

Thanks.

HiMedia are aware of this issue and are waiting for a chipset level fix from HiSilicon.

When you tried the samples, the hdmi output setting was raw or lpcm ? Could you try with the 2 options ? Or are you using the optical or coaxial output ?Regards

Thanks looun. And you tried the flac files with the 2 options on hdmi output settings (raw and lpcm) ?
Is strange that this box can play 5.1 FLAC 24BIT/96kH and has problems with stereo files. And as Karl said, it would be useful if bit rate is displayed. In your Onkyo the bit rate is not identified ? I have this problem with my Yamaha, only the sampling frequencie is displayed in stereo files.
Lets hope Himedia has a solution for this.

Has this issue been sorted on 1.0.9, or is this still ongoing issue?  No point in buying until fixed as all my music collection is in flac for the purpose of bitperfect playback.
