If you transcode audio to FLAC with eac3to using the new dcadec decoder, then it'll ignore dialnorm. What it cannot do is remove dialnorm from an encoded DTS-HD bitstream without decoding it.
Although one could argue that ignoring dialnorm is actually not a correct way to decode DTS-HD and the end-result would differ from what any commercial DTS-HD decoder would produce, and is therefor incorrect?
