Thought so... It appears that ALSA is defaulting to 48Khz. I;m thinking I should be using 88.2Khz as all my source files are 44,1 16 bit CD rips. The USB card goes out to 192 but anything over 48 throws a playback error.

Wheaten:
just to be sure, this is the one I mean:


It might possible be an driver issue, as the HW version should work without any issues.
If you configured something in DSP, turn it of and retry. No upsampling, no conversion.

Yes I;m using that setting. Here;s what I want to do:
-All source material is 44.1Khz 16 bit linear PCM WAV files (ripped from CD)
-The USB audio DAC can run as high as 192Khz 24 bits

I was thinking I should resample output to DAC to 88.2Khz 24bit stereo.

Problem: anything over 48Khz causes a playback error stating that 44.1 wont playon my hardware.

What is the best way use Media Center for best quality output?

There are a lot of opinions on that question, so it might start a discussion, but here I go:
I don't want any source manipulation in my audio. If the source is 44.1kHz than I will play it like that.
Not looking for interpolated notes or double samples of the same note.
However your DAC really likes to oversampling, as this makes the filter much cheaper to produce.
This article might be interesting.
