You can IGNORE the displayed bit rates - they are wrong. They are just a guess. 24/96 (FLAC or WAV) streams at 24/96 via a TOUCH and at 24/48 via an SB3. The default settings for SBS are fine. I suggest you leave them alone. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
