Can Raspberry Pi read HiRes (24/96) Flac files and provide HiRes (29/96) output through its USB ports for onward conversion by a USB/SPDIF unit?

Not a full answer but low key network flac player using mpd and raspberry pi describes a system which appears very similar to what you describe. – Mark Booth Nov 16 '12 at 14:49

No it cannot. It's hardware limited. There could be a solution to get SPDIF out but requires desoldering and resoldering the pin outs afaik. There are threads on this in the RPi forum.
