Yes, it's playing into my Onkyo TX-NR828 via HDMI. I dropped the FLAC file amongst my music files, navigated to it using Music > Files, and it's playing. Not entirely sure what Kodi thinks it's playing as I have no codec info, but here's the debug log. My amp says it's paying DTS, and it sounds OK (if you like the Carpenters).
Edit: So apparently this flac file is a DTS-encoded audio stream with WAV (PCM) headers - Kodi thinks it's playing a WAV, the AVR "sees" a DTS stream (as long as the volume is at 100% in Kodi, otherwise the bits sent from Kodi to the amp are totally decimated and the amp "sees" garbage). This file plays as a DTS on my ION2 with #0910, but the file produces static on the Skylake NUC with #0908+. PR10435 is the cause of the breakage on the NUC - reverting this restores DTS-as-a-WAV playback. Presumably with PR10435, the audio stream sent by the NUC from Kodi to the amp is no longer bit-perfect.
