RE: new CD player and DAC needed

Thanks very much. Can you tell me if the USB input on the rear can handle AIFF files if connected to a computer, say via an Aiport Express? I saw the following from a (very positive) review, but it seems to refer only to the front USB port:

I will go out on a limb and even say that the Marantz's back panel USB input maybe the highest quality USB DAC I have heard yet in my system. I also experienced excellent fidelity with an iPhone/iPod plugged into the front USB slot. The only real disappointment I felt was that this input does not support FLAC, AIFF, or resolution beyond 48 Khz, 16-bits. This is a bit of a nitpick, as there are three other inputs that handle up to 192 Khz, 24-bits. But this would have been a nice feature to have
