24/192 rez with M2Tech HiFace

Hi all,

I just received the M2Tech Hiface and I am unable to play 24/192 files in WAV, FLAC or AIFF. 24/96 files seem to work OK. I am using a PS Audio DLIII DAC which supports 24/192 resolution. My preferred player is Media Monkey but I've installed the kernel streaming plug ins for both Media Monkey and Foobar, set kernel streaming output in both players but neither will play the files. I downloaded a 24/192 track from an HD website and that seemed to work. Perhaps the problem is with my CD ripping/conversion method? I rip CD's to WAV 16/44.1 then convert them to both WAV 24/96 and WAV 24/192 using DB Poweramp and the latter will not play. I also tried ripping a CD directly to WAV 24/192 but this didn't work either. The same applies to conversions to AIFF and FLAC. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Your DL-III is an up-sampling DAC that will automatically up-sample your 16/44.1 files to either 24/96 or 24/192 depending on which setting you selected. In the case of CDs and 16/44.1 files, it is not necessary to convert them to higher bit and sample rates (which Rwwear refers to in his post). I'm not familiar with the M2Tech Hiface, are you sure it will support 192? Does MediaMonkey support 192? Many servers, such as Squeezecenter, are limited to 24/96.
