I have an Altmann Attraction DAC which I run with a RWA modified Squeezebox as the digital source. I am considering bypassing the SB and going direct from my PC with a USB to SPDIF interface so that I can take advantage of some of higher rez formats such as 96/24 and 192/24. My understanding is that the Attraction is a 16 bit DAC.
What will happen when I play these files through the Altmann? Will they play? Will I lose some of that resolution? Please use laymans terms, as I'm not too technical, especially when it comes to digital. I understand the basics of sample rate, but word length is a bit lost on me.
Many thanks!
