Yes of course! - tailspn 20:26:43 07/18/17 (5)

I agree with Ivan - I got the DXD multi-channel download myself - Chris from Lafayette 23:53:26 07/10/17 (66)

Not necessarily so... - PAR 00:53:56 07/11/17 (65)

Will iTunes play discrete multichannel files? (NT) - Kal Rubinson 11:36:49 07/11/17 (16)

No - but you could play them via Audirvana's "compatibility" mode. . . - Chris from Lafayette 15:56:14 07/11/17 (10)

Yes, I've played multichannel in Audirvana................ - Kal Rubinson 16:42:41 07/11/17 (8)

But did you do it in iTunes compatibility mode? - Chris from Lafayette 16:43:45 07/11/17 (7)
