It's a matter of whether or not you need it based on your source material and/or to achieve particular results. There is a very big difference between that and what you're implying. Additionally, if you don't understand why or when 24/192 is needed, then you also don't understand why or when it isn't. > > Why should this be inappropriate?

An article about whether or not 24/192 has purpose (in whatever application..meaning usage, not software) has nothing to do with pointing out that support for it is missing/not implemented. I can't imagine why anyone would confuse that. > > In my opinion there is one answer: If the sound chip accepts 24/192, > > then our sound system should be able to use this capability. > > Surely. That is the actual subject here and I'm sure most people would agree to the above. At least I hope so!
