Pretty sure even ODAC rev.B doesn't support beyond 24/96, and it is $150. I'll assume the DAC inside the Element is probably very similar to the one in ODAC rev.B
No support for 192kHz is a slight bummer, but by no mean a total turn-off. I'll venture a guess that the choice (of 24/96 max, a.k.a USB Audio Class 1) is to keep it more compatible to smart devices (iOS, Android, etc).
You're right about the ODAC, I thought it supported 192. If someone with 192KHz files got this, is there a simple way to downsample them without ruining the sound (achem windows).
192k and higher is not audible anyway, and no one has ever been able to prove otherwise.
Gimme.
Let's keep the audio theory out of this thread, Some people have 192KHz files and don't want them to be downsampled for playback
