I'm granted a newbie at the ripping and encoding game and probably am not answering answering the more involved questions brought up here however..
Using EAC and ripping the DTS audio files on all my DTS audio discs like Steely Dans' Gaucho and Stings' Brand New Day I simply have EAC rip then encode the resultant wav in flac and have the SB2 play them utilizing the SPDIF output. My receivers recognise the resultant streams as DTS and they seem to sound the same as the original DTS CD. Is it not logical to have most other "oddball" streams encoded in Flac then have the SB2 decode that leaving the output stream to be decoded by the receiver or preamp? Or is lossless flac not really lossless? A direct comparison sounds perfect to me. Granted its a bit of a Kludge but it works and I've done much more convoluted workarounds when presented with a problem.
