The internal processing of usb audio is likely to be 24 bits for all cases and will fill the lower 8 bits with 0s. However if you have replay gain enabled or the volume set to less than 100% then the bits may be altered by the gain setting and this will alter all 24 bits. Some Dacs such as the Audiolab MDAC monitor the number of bits which are changing and use this for the bit depth - people notice that the dac reads 44/16 at 100% volume and then it changes to 44/24 if you change the volume. Is this the case for you, or perhaps the dac is just measuring that there are 24bits per sample being received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94512 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
