As SACD's are decoded to LPCM is was only that I was interested in see if Shield is able to handle correct Multichannel LPCM to AVR so that AVR will switch to Multi-In. You can use these files to confirm https://github.com/sfiera/flac-test-files as these will also confirm correct channel mapping. Make sure to test with another app other than Kodi e.g. VLC to etablish if it's an exclusive Kodi problem or whether it might be the fault of the Shield and it's ability to handle Multichannel PCM as many android devices either can't do it or get this wrong, although I don't recall ever seeing anything mentioned about the Shield having Multichannel LPCM issues.
I'll test them and get back to you.
