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?

Swhitman, can you not tell just from the size of the file if nothing else? I do recall a conversation with Bel Canto about the dac. I think I recall that it can decode up to 2$/96 but no higher.
Has anyone tried MAX from Sbooth? http://sbooth.org/. A friend in Germany strongly recommends it over WAV, which for me has proven best.

Also does anyone know of a firewire input dac?

I have many Macs but am using a Windows XP music server, which you all know is so awkward to use that it drives you crazy.
Xenithon, so with Max you can rip WAV files? Does everyone using Macs use Itunes for play back?
One additional question, do you worry about the switching power supplies in computers reducing the quality of the playback from your hard drives?
