Is this a bi-perfect playback?

Not necessarily; the TV may resample digital audio. FLAC via BR player to DAC over optical should be "bit-perfect", though.

If TV does resample, it's typically to 16/48. What does your DAC report about the file?

What is decoding your FLAC file?

I guess the Blu-ray player decodes the FLAC file. It can search playable audio/video files on the UBS stick inserted to the USB socket on the front panel.

The DAC does not display sample rate or bit depth. It merely shows which input (optical, coaxial, USB) is selected.
