The DIA just accepts S/PDIF, coax or optical. so the Digital Only setting is the correct one. S/PDIF is unidirectional, from the SBT to the DAC, since it just goes one way there is no way for the DAC to tell the SBT what it is. The SBT is just shoving the data out, it has no way to know if there is anything receiving the data or not. USB on the other hand is bi-directional, the DAC can tell the SBT what its name is and what sample rates it can support, hence the SBT can list it by name, but with S/PDIF there is no way to do that. If the DIA does not have any way to tell what the sample rate is, then your method of syncing two SBTs, one connected to a DAC which tells you the sample rate, and one which does not, is an acceptable way to tell. If they are synced they will both be running the same sample rate, if one DAC says it is running at 192, the other one is as well. BTW a fair number of DAC will run at 192 over their coax inputs but only 96 via the optical inputs, so if you want to do 192, try the coax inputs first.
