Question Harman Kardon to play WAV files?!?

Hi guys,

I've got a brand new C class (2012) equipped with the Harman Kardon sound system and the media interface (USB+iPhone+AUX)...

My problem is that I'm not able to play some lossless music files stored on a USB harddrive (WAV, FLAC, ALAC) but I'm able to play most of the compressed format (MP3, MP4a, WMA)...
With such a sound system I can hear the difference between a CD and a MP3 even if it's a 320k...

So is there a way to play a lossless format in a 2012 C class?
(I think that it is possible with the 2011 model but I'm not sure for WAV files)

I'm pretty sure you can encode WMA to lossless.

e: confirmed.

Then it seems your only choice is to burn it as PCM to DVD. I know it's not the memory stick version, but if you can really hear the difference between 320kbit mp3 and lossless while driving, my hat's off to you sir.
