Bel Canto DAC 2 96/24?

Has anyone had a Bel Canto DAC2 and played 96/24 resolution through it? I have been told it is capable of doing it but have had no success in being able to play hi rez files through it. I have a Logitech Touch that I am using to feed the DAC and all I get is a split second of sound then drop out, then a split second of sound and drop out and so forth. Is anyone able to help me figure this out?

Thanks,

Mark

I am using it through the Touch which is capable of 24/96 output. I wish I had a usb/spdif converter so I could find out if there is a problem with the DAC or the Touch. Or if I am just missing something that is causing the issue to take place. I have no problems with the 16 bit files so I don't think it is a network issue.

Thanks Audiojedi, those are some good thoughts. I will try it via a USB stick. I do have it hard wired to a wireless router that has been DD_WRT. So I am not sure but pretty sure network is good. Another thing I forgot to mention is that I am able to play the hi res files through Touchs analog outs.

Any how I will try that usb idea it does eliminate one factor.

Well I tried the usb for putting the music into the Touch, it ended the same way. So I thought I would look and see if I could find any 24/88 files. I found some and downloaded them on to the computer did a rescan and sure enough they played with out a hitch. Does anyone know if the DAC 2 could have something in it that just got knocked out of adjustment? Making it so it can't do the 96khz?

Thanks for the help!!
