Can piCorePlayer play multi channel audio, like 5.1

Hi.

I have a few SACDs and BR Pure audio discs that I have ripped that have 5.1 channels of audio. Can piCorePlayer play these audio files with the right DAC/Hat or is it limited to stereo audio only. I would like to replace the KODI player that I have which I am using for listening to 5.1 ch audio. I have been running piCorePlayer for a few years now and stereo is great in my bedroom and computer room, but would like to enjoy 5.1 ch in the Livingroom with my theatre setup.

Thanks.
