We start from a hyperbolic DN hydrodynamic type system of dimension $n$ which possesses Riemann invariants and we settle the necessary conditions on the conservation laws in the reciprocal transformation so that, after such a transformation of the independent variables, one of the metrics associated to the initial system be flat. We prove the following statement: let $n\ge 3$ in the case of reciprocal transformations of a single independent variable or $n\ge 5$ in the case of transformations of both the independent variable; then the reciprocal metric may be flat only if the conservation laws in the transformation are linear combinations of the canonical densities of conservation laws, {\it i.e} the Casimirs, the momentum and the Hamiltonian densities associated to the Hamiltonian operator for the initial metric. Then, we restrict ourselves to the case in which the initial metric is either flat or of constant curvature and we classify the reciprocal transformations of one or both the independent variables so that the reciprocal metric is flat. Such characterization has an interesting geometric interpretation: the hypersurfaces of two diagonalizable DN systems of dimension $n\ge 5$ are Lie equivalent if and only if the corresponding local hamiltonian structures are related by a canonical reciprocal transformation.
