Yes, it does. It's a fairly high-end receiver (Yamaha RX-A3010) and it
supports sample rates up to 24 bit/192 KHz (even 8 discrete channels)
over HDMI. The receiver is most certainly not the limiting factor. As
stated, when I connect a Blu-Ray player to it using HDMI, it will play
CDs and flacs (using UPnP/DLNA on the Blue-Ray player)  with any sample
rate I throw at it just fine. Of course, the SqueezeBox Touch I have
(connected using SPDIF) also works fine with 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz
including stereo flacs and surround (DD, DTS) files wrapped into flac
format.

The only reason I started experimenting with iPod/iPad devices connected
to the receiver is in case my SqueezeBox Touch dies, knowing that
Logitech has stopped supporting it. I'm particularly interested in
connections that would support pass-thru for flac or PCM formats that
contain SPDIF wrapped Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 surround streams, as I
have a fair amount of music that way. For regular stereo I can just use
the UPnP/DLNA client function of the receiver itself (in combination
with the Yamaha iOS or Android app) - unfortunately that input does not
support pass-thru for surround formats. LMS and iPeng do support it,
provided the path to the receiver doesn't touch the bitstream at all. I
thought HDMI would be my best bet, and it does not turn out to be a bad
bat at all, except that iOS seems to think it needs to resample to 48
kHz with the Digital AV adapter plugged in,.
