I'm interested in this DAC... Is there some 'guide' to modify? This thread is too huge to read...
Is it truncating the 24 bit files down to 16 bit resolution, therefore eliminating the eight extra bits, or is there some fancy magic going on in the DAC's design where the parallel processing is able to handle the full 24 bit resolution files being thrown at it?
More thinking along the lines of what's the point of having files at 24 bit resolution like SACD rips, DVD-A rips, HDTracks downloads, etc and then streaming them into a device that then reduces this resolution down to 16 bits?
It defies the whole point in having a 24 bit resolution files in the first instance, you might as well just stick with a 16 bit resolution file format if there is nothing in the DAC domain that can handle this resolution successfully?
