What is the highest bit rate supported by the DAC over USB? Will it do 24/96?

Thanks for your question. Highest res these will do is 16/48. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Definitive Technology dealer.

I have this system and am able to play 24-bit/192KHz flac files through the USB interface just fine (running on linux). I suppose it's possible the software or hardware is downgrading them first but I would have expected no sound at all if the unit really didn't support it.

Thanks for your question, Antonio. The DAC in the Incline speakers only supports playback of up to 24-bit/48kHz, 2ch music files. Please let us know if we can help with anything else. -- George McClure, ListenUp

Optical cable interfaces can handle digital audio 6.1 and 7.1 but their smaller data-transfer rate (20-125 megabits per second compared to HDMI's 10.2 gigabits per second) means they can only transmit compressed audio, such as Dolby Digital, DTS or two-channel PCM. HDMI, conversely, can deliver uncompressed Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA signals

No, it's not included with the DAC. But you can use any standard computer USB type 2 cable (same one you'd use if you were connecting your computer to a printer). Or use a specialized audio USB from Audioquest etc.

I am using a 250ohm DT770Pro right now using only onboard audio from my desktop and the sound is incredible. I can not vouch for its effectiveness with mobile devices or sources with lower power than my desktop.

Any DAC will do fine. I have mine hooked up to my Fiio E07k. One could also plug it directly into the PC's headphone line out as well.

I use mine strictly for my high resolution audio all onboard sound boards have to be disabled in order to get the full capability of a DAC when used with a 5.1 home theater it's nothing but a brick the HT head unit will mess with the bit stream and the DAC will do it's best but you're feeding it 50% of the dataA DACs place in my setup goes like thisLaptop usb out DAC high quality RCA plugs to AMP to speakersthe fewer steps between the source audio and the DAC the betterhope that helps

Any recording software should do the trick, for example Sound Recorder integrated in windows. And one more thing, I may be mistaken but I think card supports only 16bit 44.1Khz through digital in.

If you will use ext. DAC and connect to mini jack audio input in DefTech you will sound what external DAC support.

if sound sys has rca out or in....???? PC in or out... must pass through what your are trying to do, but quality won't be high Price is reasonable to try... My denon receiver is good at passing through rca or HDMI. USB may need to be 3.0 or higher...

Android supports USB DACS. How well depends on your manufacturer and what apps are being used. Check with your manufacturer and Google. https://source.android.com/devices/audio/usb.html

I'm on a Mac so no. However, Peachtree support was great when I had a question. The DAC offers such amazing sound for the price so any short-lived driver hurdles would be worth it.

I haven't used it as a connection to a Dac. Sorry. But my guess it will hold up.

Yes, the DAC-iTX does support 24/88.2. It's one of the upgrades over last year's version for this product.

These are both highly rated but I went with the Sound blaster USB 24 bit DAC after having driver issues with the sound blaster internal card. This may have been related to my computer but you can't go wrong with any of the 3. The speakers are awesome in 24 bit.

I just installed the v1.4 beta driver on my 64-bit Windows 8.1 laptop, and playback of 24-bit, 192 kHz files is working beautifully (I'm currently listening to Kind of Blue from HDTracks). I have a concert to record this Thursday, so hopefully the A-to-D side is working well also. I use external mic pre-amps and just run balanced "Hi-Z" into the E-MU for recording, so I don't anticipate any problems there.

The DAC is fine. What will limit sound quality in this case is not the DAC but rather the upsampling that pandora is guilty of - at least when i sampled music streaming services. I compared spotify, pandora, and mog, and hands down - Mog was the winner in file quality - dont get bogged down with numbers and listen first. I cancelled both pandora and spotify immediately.
