You can play back music files stored on your PC or DLNA-compatible NAS on the unit.
• To use this function, the unit and your PC must be connected to the same router (p.13). You can check whether the network parameters
(such as the IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in “Information” (p.32) in the “SETUP” menu.
• The unit supports playback of WAV (PCM format only), MP3, WMA, MPEG-4 AAC and FLAC files.
• The unit is compatible with sampling rates of up to 192 kHz for WAV and FLAC files, and 48 kHz for other files.

that supports FLAC files.
