Lucid and informative, Doggie, thanks. Does JRiver also disable the OS engine and switch to native sample rate?
DAC doesn't recognize hi-res files
Tried posting this yesterday, but something is up with A-Gon.
Regardless, I'll start by saying I'm just starting to fool around with using my PC as a source. Downloaded A-Gon's HD Tracks sampler a few weeks ago in 24/192 WAV format, and my MacBook Pro identifies the files as 24/192. Using a USB into my McIntosh C50 DAC, the C50 identifies the files as 16/44.1. The C50 automatically sets DAC resolution based on file, so that's not something I can adjust. I'm running the files directly from Finder, not iTunes. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
