I think some of the mch 5.1 music is a lot better than stereo.
Currently I have converted most of my mch SACD's to mch FLAC's (24/96)
and they are sitting on a Synology NAS.
LMS/picore is running on a Raspberry Pi 4B with touchscreen and Harmony
remote control.

Hmm... With a lot of time at home, I was revisiting my surround library

It seems like it would be nice for LMS to support multichannel FLAC for
devices that might have an HDMI connection for instance. Historically,

maybe it took marcb 5 yrs to reply but he is right. I am also using mch
5.1 dsf tracks from my synology and would also love to use them via LMS.

As for favorite multichannel albums I've heard one that actually uses
the extra channels with any degree of artfullness: Björk's Medulla (on
SACD). On Medulla any and all of the front, center or rear channels can
be used as the primary point of origin for the music.

Yeah, just to clarify. No Squeezebox in the multichannel pathway for me
either. The only place the signal intersects with the stereo gear is
thru the preamp in home theater pass through mode to play the front
channels.
Sounds good.
If anyone hasn't done so, check out some of the upsampled DTS
