having 24/192 WAV files and 24/192 capable DAC

there are three problems;

--finding a DAC with coaxial input that will do 192/24 WAV files.

--does coaxial have the bandwidth to handle 2-channel 192/24 WAV files?

--if the cable has that potential bandwidth, then does a DAC have the proper drivers installed that will allow it to recieve 192/24 over coaxial?

i've not seen 192/24 done with coaxial cables. my music server uses the Lynx AES16 XLR sound card and outputs into my Playback Designs MPS-5 over AES/EBU XLR. it does do 192/24 WAV files.

Please correct me if I am wrong..i started out with digital music with an affordable Music Hall 25.2 DAC that has coax, optical, USB and ASB input. Through exchanging emails with Music Hall, they said all input except USB can accept and process 24/192 signal without down sampling them. That's why I am looking for a music server or something similar with 24/192 coaxial output to play files that I create with KORG MR1000

mikelavigne...what exactly do you use for a music server? i am interested in this issue as well...good thread to follow for me.

SPDIF coax will indeed support 24/192, but until recently USB did not. Currently, there are only a couple of designers making USB DACs capable of supporting 24/192 (and higher), while there are quite a few making DACs with SPDIF capable of supporting beyond 24/192.

Has anyone used the Tascam DV-RA1000HD ? It looks very promising..I wonder if it can output 24/192 via its coaxial?
