Has anyone else tried playing 192KHz 24bit files on the Transporter? I have ripped a set of FLACs from the Eagles "Hotel California" DVD Audio disc. SqueezeCenter recognises the files as 192KHz 24bit format and my Transporter plays them perfectly via coax S/PDIF and the 96KHz DAC in my Linn Kino

I would be very interested in hearing from folks with a Bryston dac, and how they experience the difference between that and the dac in the Transporter, but maybe that will be a new thread It is not weird to experience something like adam2434, in fact I think the music can sound, or impact you
