DTS soundtracks with Quad or 3-channel etc. all play correctly. I believe formats like FLAC will play correctly with any number of channels through multi-in on the receiver, but KODI is only outputting 2-channel as far as I can tell and the receiver doesn't show "Multi-In" for the signal, just 2-channels stereo. If I set KODI to "fixed" and change the output channels with "keep audio device alive" turned on, 4.0 shows 4 speakers in the Marantz display light up on the display. 5.1 and 7.1 also light up those amount of speaker channels on the display and of course 2-channel works. Other options like 6.1 just show stereo on the display (even though 6.1 works for any movie encoded in 6.1 such as DTS-ES 6.1 or DTS-HD MA 6.1).

I wouldn't know since I don't have Foobar2000. I'm using an NVidia Shield with KODI in my home theater and I normally use a Mac for my server (it does have Windows 10 on it as well, but the computer isn't connected to a multi-channel output system, just the home theater). Foobar2000 for the Mac is just a basic player; it doesn't support components like the Windows version and I don't see Foobar2000 on the PlayStore for the Shield.
I'm looking for a good conversion program to FLAC. I'll probably have to find a Windows one since Mac software seems limited in that area or costs a fair amount of money when it appears there are free conversion programs for Windows.
