in this case not) be'. The Oppo will put out various bit depth/sample
rates depending on the disc. Some have copy protection (I think most
commercial DVDs and DVD-As) where it is limited. The one case where I
saw 24/96 was with one I got from a friend of his own recordings,
burned to disc himself. These were DVD-V files, I think ... (??? all
this is confusing to me).
I have seen everything from ("<=" sometimes) 20/96, 24/48, 16/96, and
even 16/192 out of the Oppo on various discs.
Anyway, http://support.cambridgeaudio.com/faqs_view.php?FAQID=163
discusses the 840C (which supposedly only displays what the device
'reports') and
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16641 is about the Touch
'bug'.
Doesn't sound like Logitech is going to put any effort into fixing it,
since it's "only cosmetic". Oh well.
I think we can be assured that the Touch is actually putting out 24/96
(or whatever is being streamed, if less). Stereophile and Computer
Audiophile have both published measurements verifying the 24 bit output
on the SPDIF optical/RCA connections.
