This is true of every DAC in the world. The DAC can only report the received sample rate. Unless using some of the programs and settings described elsewhere in the thread, the OS will use its built-in low quality SRC conversion program to make all audio the same rate so it can mix it. Unless you know ahead of time the correct sample rate and manually set it, or use special software with (with special settings in Windows), there is no way to affect how the OS changes the sample rate - certainly not by any DAC.

Hope this helps.

So, in your OP, you actually wanted sample rates, not bit rate? - Chris from Lafayette 15:08:39 09/16/17 (2)
