Will the Topping E30 II support Tidal's FLAC streams?

I am thinking of buying this DAC.  I asked the manufacturer if it will decode Tidal's FLAC stream.  All they said is the DAC support PCM, but I am not sure if this is "yes" or "no' to my question!   Does anyone else know?  I am looking for a DAC that will give me the full 24/192kHz FLAC streams that some of Tidal's library is now offering (as they move from MQA to FLAC as recently announced).

 

Thx. Adrian.

If you want etched details. sterile and boring sound, Topping is the way to go. I know they have mastered the 'measurements' game (looks so pretty and perfect on graphs) and are favored heavily by that 'other' site. I tried their DAC a couple of years ago and couldn't get rid of it fast enough. 

I don't know what your budget is, but if you want good sound consider Denafrips Aries or Musician R2R dacs.
