RE: Streamer to Dac Connection

To the best of my knowledge Spdif/coax, AES/EBU and Hdmi can only handle PCM files like WAV and Flac, and only up to a certain limit. I think the limit sampling rate is 24bit/192khz for Spdif/coax and AES/EBU.
If you want to be able to play native DSD files, PCM files converted to DSD (SACD) or PCM files in higher resolution than 24/192 you have to use USB or i2s. But your streamer and DAC must also be able to handle these higher resolutions anyway.
