What Bit-Rate does an IMac put out on USB?

Posted by oldmkvi on September 16, 2017 at 08:46:31:
I know Internet radio is only mp3 quality, but my Dragonfly, Korg, and Mytek DACs for my Desktop System will readout whatever Bit-Rate I set them to.
The Dragonfly doesn't upsample, and they said to set it to whatever Rate it's receiving.
But I don't know if it's 16/44, 16/48, 24/48 or 24/96.
Also, the Satellite Box puts out 48K, but don't know if it's 16 or 24 Bit.
Does anyone know, and where might it be documented?
