Hey guys,
So I've been looking into getting a dac/amp combo and I think I'm pretty much set on either the audio-gd nfb 12 or maverick audio d1. Thing is, I've been doing some reading and ran into a bit of a snag. I saw on one thread here that USB is only capable of 44.1/16 rate instead of 96/24. Is there any truth to that? If it is, thats a problem, because I dont have any other output on my comp other than usb and a mysterious port labeled i394 (kinda looks like an optical out...but no clue). So should I give up at getting 24 bit out of my laptop, or is there something I can do? Thanks.
