Just to clarify, the Marantz doesn't itself care what format the file storing the data is. The file format is decoded by the music player in the computer. The computer then outputs a data stream (normally a PCM one but sometimes DSD) to the computer. The computer is concerned with the data rate of the stream. So whether the storage file format is FLAC or AIFF or something else, the Marantz' ability to play music from it is limited by whether it is 16/44.1 or 16/48 kHz or 18 or 24 bit 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4 kHz etc. We currently assume that the acceptable data rates for the Marantz USB input is OK for all of those plus 24/192 but not, apparently, DSD.
As mentioned elsewhere optical receivers may be limited to a maximum 24/96 kHz. So the optical input will still play AIFF originated data so long as it does not exceed the maximum acceptable data rate.
