Apple 24 Bit 96 KhZ


With a new iMac 2.8GHz 10.5.5 OS how best to get 24 bit 96 KhZ? I have formatted the Audio Midi Setup to 96KHz 2Ch-24 bit. Can you play 2496 source music from the iTunes either through USB or Toslink/digital optical cable from the mini jack into a state of the art DAC - which is best audiophile?

I can switch the sample rate of the Audio Midi on the fly with my Mac Mini using the latest iTunes software. I don't have to close iTunes and launch it again when the sample rate setting has been changed. The reason I know this is I am using an Apogee Mini DACand it has sample rate settings up to 192kHz. The DAC has indicators on the front panel that shows the incoming sample rate. Whenever I change the sample rate in Audio Midi, the Mac farts and scratches its' butt, the the music resumes with the DAC indicator now showing the selected sample rate.

I am using FireWire from the Mac Mini to the DAC. Maybe that has something to do with it?
