And in the meanwhile I am looking for a confirmation that my MiniDSP is doing what it says it should, output at up to 24/96.
I had no reason to wonder until I tried feeding its digital input with the toslink in (instead of analog). I needed a converter to do this so am using this device

It is set up for 24/96 in and out stereo via firmware patch but when I play the MiniDSP with digital input there is no sound on any music above 4800hz. Fairly certain that it is a driver issue but am just trying to check everything I can think of. If the DSP wont play above 4800, is the fault with it? Or the USB converter or something else completely?
