Noob question.

I have a combination of FLAC's, MP3's and OGG's. Will I be able play these types of files with say a Pico or a ibasso D1?Attachment 2843

thank you in advance

If your computer can output the files through the software you're using, the DAC will process the audio.

I think it more depends on whether your media playing software can decode them

In some intances, the sample rate may matter, eg. 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz etc. but I believe the two mentioned will have no problem

The DAC don't care about which file type you play back.
At least if when we talk about audio CD data (16-bit/44.1KHz). 24-bit/92KHz files might be different, depending what the DAC support...

So I don't need to put much thought into it just as long as the player I'm using can play it?

Correct!
The DAC receive a digital audio signal, with a certain bit depth and sampling rate. It have no idea which file type (codec/container) the audio data are stored in.

you can always change the sample rate and output word size with plugins for your media player anyway.
