having 24/192 WAV files and 24/192 capable DAC


via Coaxial input..but HOW do i play back those files? Is there any affordable music server or hard disc player that will allow me to play those files and output them to the coaxial input of my DAC?

if not, is there any alternative ?
Thanks in advance..i'm a newbie in digital playback.

there are three problems;

--finding a DAC with coaxial input that will do 192/24 WAV files.

--does coaxial have the bandwidth to handle 2-channel 192/24 WAV files?

--if the cable has that potential bandwidth, then does a DAC have the proper drivers installed that will allow it to recieve 192/24 over coaxial?

i've not seen 192/24 done with coaxial cables. my music server uses the Lynx AES16 XLR sound card and outputs into my Playback Designs MPS-5 over AES/EBU XLR. it does do 192/24 WAV files.
