Hd not recognized on dac...iTunes, pc, USB problem


Hi folks,

I'm at a loss and would live your help.

I just downloaded some hd sample tracks in flax format from
linn and am trying to play these on my system which includes a wyred4sound dac1 (handling upto 24/96 via USB).

I tried to play these files from foobar2000 (as well as iTunes) but the dac1 display stubbornly shows 44.1 encoding. irrespective whether I use a 16, 24 bit file, or even go up to 192khz files. What is even mire strange is that 192khz files still play.

What is going on? Downplaying on the PC? Do I need to change a setting? I have win 7.

What can I do to hear these hd files ideally from
iTunes? Do I need to convert to apple lossless ? Does iTunes support hd apple lossless?

What if i stick with foobar?
Thx!!!!

I use a PC with XP and Foobar2K with Kernel Streaming plug-in. Never have any problems with 192 tracks and I run it for days on end, breaking in products.
