4. Will I be able to output 24/192 from an Android phone (Audio Recorder Pro, etc…)?
 
Nick: 24/96 yes, 24/192 no.
 
 

 
can someone help me understand this or send link helping to understand this...    I listen to Spotify (high bitrate) and Flac's (on UAPP) on my Android phone (HTC One M8 if it matters). 

Will this DAC/AMP work natively with it without degradation of audio?  I don't understand the difference/importance of 96 vs 192 obviously

If your music is CD quality then it's 16/44.1. Spotify (high bitrate or otherwise) is at 16/44.1; your FLACs could possibly be higher bitrate, but you'd have to check that for yourself. It's possible some of your FLAC content is 24/192, but unless you specifically sought out that content in that bitrate it's unlikely that it is.
 
From a technical perspective, 24/192 is entirely unnecessary for playback (for a technical explanation go here: https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html ), so it's not something I'd worry about.

I too have/had some doubts. This helped me a lot:
 
Basics of sampling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(signal_processing)
Examples and basics of samplig rates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(signal_processing)#Sampling_rate
 
So, from a very primitive deduction, using over 48KHz is useless (a bit more technical explanation https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html and a bit of discussion about that article here http://www.head-fi.org/t/716822/why-24-bit-audio-and-anything-over-48k-is-not-only-worthless-but-bad-for-music), as well as 24 bit resolution.
 
My doubts are: If I have 24/192 music in my library, will a DAC that only supports 24/96 play it at that rate (down-rating the music, so to speak), or will it not play the song at all?

Your media player would have to downsample it before sending it to the DAC, otherwise it wouldn't play.

What a surprise, a company called Schiit designed something that will fit in your butt.
I'm guessing the Fulla will be very popular in prison.

Nice! 

 
I think you are probably the first person in the world to make that particular leap of logic.
 
Congrats!!!

Now the company can live up to the name!

  And my low impedance Shure 846s should be a good test for the Fulla. They need a damn low output impedance and are quite sensitive. 

 
Any updates mate?

I guess I got the idea from this weeks episode of Sons of Anarchy

I thought that Schiit would have done an official announcement for sure by this point. I guess they want to miss out on some Christmas sales. That would be a pretty dumb strategy. C'mon Schiit, feed us some info!

I am hoping the Fulla will be announced within the next week, to cash in for Christmases. However Jason has stated he will not sell a product till it's ready and that why their products are such fantastic performers.

Schiit don't work that way.  They don't buy into the usual consumer-frenzy stuff.  When it's done, it's done.

The Fulla Schiit looks to be an interesting product, with its unconventional use of an AKM dac choice over the ESS Sabre line. Looks like this is gonna replace my herus since I neither want nor need DSD support.

Sauce?

What kind of sauce?
