Transcoding only multichannel dsf files

[Veganfloyd]

That gives me a file which is unplayable on my renderer (Sony UBP-X800M2 blu-ray player). I get a message that the file is corrupt or music format is not supported. Per foobar, the channel layout of the file is: 5: FL FR FC BL BR.

For comparison, I converted one of my 4.0 + silent centre flacs to wav which gave me the channel layout of just "5". This one played like the transcoded 4.0 + silent centre DSFs, i.e. stereo only. I'm wondering whether forcing the channel layout of my setup (5: FL FR FC SL SR) might solve the problem. I could not find an easy way (i.e. easy enough for me) to do it and try it out on a wav file.

Apologies, I thought that there would be no difference between WAVs and FLACs for this issue.
