toslink and 24/192 can be hit and miss , sometimes it works , but it is not in that standard ,but it can work if both sender and receiver are good enough .
Spdiff always works inleds something is broken . USB it should be this new asynchronous mode ,otherwise it's no point . USB implementations can also vary not all do 24/192 . Technically depending on DAC and source one of these could be better , but the difference should be to small to be audible . 24/96 is not really a limitation , but if the USB is only capable of that I would suspect other limitations too . DSD it's rarely any DSD exclusive content to bother with except for some very niche audiophile labels , so this is not usually a format to bother with if one wants to enjoy music . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
