I'm guessing that the touch does not support plain old HFS+ (let alone
the journaled variety) at this point in time. I know that linux support
for Read+Write on HFS+ is not the greatest, so I understand this.
Nevertheless, how hard will it be to get the Touch to mount an HFS+
Journaled USB

There is no additional analogue level control on the Touch.

So I read the instruction manual and yes, the base frequency can only

to 2fs give you 88.2 (2 x the base frequency)?

The EMM Labs machine is a swiss army knife. It can do many different
types of projects and its capabilities vary depending on the project.
The issue for this discussion is DSD to PCM conversion of a ripped
SACD. So the specs on other types of conversions by the same machine
are not relevant.
As cited above, the EMM manual is quite clear:
only 44.1kHz is allowed for DSD outputs and inputs on page 2 and page
8.
