This is interesting. The number of bits sent in the S/PDIF stream is exactly the same whether its sending 16 or 24 bits. There is a field in the header that says if its using the extra bits and the Touch ALWAYS has that bit set. The only thing I can think of is that the DAC looks at those bits and if they are not zero it doesn't play. The volume control on the Touch would have in interesting effect with this. IF you have the volume set at 100% and play 16/44.1 there should not be anything in the lower bits, but if you set the volume less than 100% there will be non-zero bits down there. Does the DAC lock if you set the volume to less than 100%?
