K. Thanks to all- using USB cable to DAC. Thinking that is problem. High res transfer not happening. Amarra software says can not accept file , then shows 9600 not ok? Read somewhere need to use digital link instead of USB ? But why Rad shack working fine ? Also,PS DAC "upsamples"? So is it not set up to "just play" hi res?

Oh, and Amarra has built in Flac converter thingy to make new iTunes readable files. Hav done this. They will play thru iTunes only. Not thru Amarra. And play at 42(?) vs 96(?) that I prefer and had BEfoRe upgrade?!?

Wrap up- seems the ps DAC isn't the right tool for my needs. Wanting to play native hi res files. Thus, unit is for upsampleing files. Plus I've learned standard USB does not support hi res file transfer. So... Back to drawing board and more homework. Gatta' love this hobby! Again-thanks to all who took time/effort to share....(at least I think I got what's goin' on)
