Awesome and interesting article. Great things you’ve always shared with us. Thanks. Just continue composing this kind of post.

My Orchid does 192 over toslink from a Node 2i. Sometimes on older remaster upsampled tracks there’s some extra noise compared to other DACs, but converting back down to redbook can do that I guess. You could always limit Qobuz to a lower resolution. That works well for me. Qobuz does a better job converting down than the Orchid. Check the output limits on the pi? Not all s/pidf chips handle high resolution. 

Hi Danager

I just want to understand if there is an issue with my unit. The user manual says it support inputs up to 192/24 in all digital inputs including BNC and RCA

Maybe I’m missing something very basic.

Thx, Nuno

Digital Coax (RCA) doesn't support 192Khrtz while USB does. For the Orchid it doesn't really matter as it it only process 16 bit 44 /41 khrtz
