Playback could not be started using the format: 96kHz 24bit 2ch
« on: October 25, 2015, 05:31:51 am »

Hi,
I've got a problem playing files like in the image "Title_Properties...", that have e.g. 96kHz 24bit 2ch and above. Than the "Message..." appears and when accepting, everythings fine. But then those files are downgraded to 48kHz and I think to 16 bit as well.
But I do have a lots of music above 16 bit and 48kHz, so what ist the right setting?

-->I'm using a Cambridge Azur 651A a amplifier, and is dirct connected to USB Audio without a driver.

How to solve this issue??

You might need a driver for your USB Audio Device if you want high rates like 96/24 to work. You should check with the manufacturer of your DAC if they offer a USB Audio Class 2.0 driver to enable these formats.

That Amp/DAC has a maximum sample rate of 48kHz at 16 bit.

https://www.cambridgeaudio.com/products/hifi-and-home-cinema/azur-651a

So, you'll want to enable Output Format to downconvert everything above 48kHz down to 48kHz.  The screen shot you posted, shows good settings for that, but I can't see if Output Format has a check next to it, which enables those settings.

If you want to go higher, you'll need a DAC that supports higher sampling rates and depths.
