Confusion

My son is after me to buy the oppo BDP-95 so he can stream some lossless flac files and listen to SACD. I have an old spectral dma90 amp, 805 matrix speakers , and a spectral pre with a phono stage and a Merrill heirloom. Can we "hear' these files on a two channel system? Won't the sound just be down-converted? are high res and multichannel files the same? I need help before spending almost 1k on this for him
Thanks

but can i play these hirez files on the oppo on a stereo system? I don't understand "the file setup". I don't understand the difference between lossless file and hi rez is as far as playing them on a stereo system such as mine. If a hi rez file is a multi channel file, what good will it do to play it on only two speakers? That's basically what I am asking

Thanks
