I did a search on "VSX-52 FLAC files" (the 52 was the more popular model and received more reviews) and, according to S&V Magazine, playback of streamed audio from a home network is supported; not sure about an external HD or thumb drive connected via USB.

I can give it a try at the Magnolia near me. I know they still have the VSX-52 demo unit on their rack; I can transfer a few FLAC files to a USB drive to see if the contents can be read and played back. I'm curious to know myself.

I know for sure that truth a USB drive they work but there's a specific amount of space for external HD's and as usual Pioneer Canada they don't know nothing . The New 68 i know for a fact that can take up to 4T but older models it's a hit or miss . My 919 did till a certain time a couple months a go it stopped to recognize one of my drives and i'm looking for a upgrade but i don't want to fork the bill for the 68 or 65 .
