Using FLAC files on a USB stick in an ES 300h Takumi with ML sounds system

[CallHarry]

To get the best out of ny sound system I wanted to use a USB stick populated with FLAC files from a Brennan B2 juke box. I am getting mixed messages about this, some yes some no. Some saying UK is fine(which is what I have) but not American. Anybody got any experience on this. At present I am using sticks but have mp3 files, its fine but could be a lot better on the premium system

As far as I know, none of the Lexus OEM systems can handle FLAC files but I may be wrong.

Yes UK ES300h can handle FLAC off of USB. Mind you I don't have ML, my pioneer system does, but according to owners manual both pioneer and ML should be able to handle FLAC.

Thanks to both of you for your reply

I have the ML and the USB can be used with Flac.
