Any problems streaming 24/192 files to external DAC from Bluesound Node?


I am attempting to stream 24/192 out from Bluesound Node and it  isn’t working for me. High res files play fine through Node to analog out. 24/96 files stream fine to my external DAC. My DAC can handle 24/192 files via coaxial in. Is this a limitation of the Node?  Has anyone else using the latest version of the Node experienced this?

Streaming through Vault 2i with latest software to 2 different DACs.  One DAC just uses LED for sampling rate, not bit depth.  The other has correct ID of any bit depth and sample rate.   They both seem to correctly ID the incoming g 192 Qo up stream as of today with latest Bluesound firmware 

@oddiofyl thanks. I should clarify one important thing I omitted in my first post. I am “streaming” (actually, more like serving) music from a USB flash memory stick, not the Internet. Not sure that should make a difference in this case since the Node is playing the larger file format just fine through the internal DAC. Difficult to find detailed technical information on file types supported by various outputs on the Node on the Bluesound website. I will just try a different coaxial cable and see if that helps.

The stick may need to be formatted with a specific extension,  I can't remember.  I have had a hard drive connected since new and I get the message USB found when I reboot my  Vault.  

Update.  I purchased a new DH Labs 75 ohm coaxial cable and problem streaming 24/192 files from Node is better than solved.  Streaming from hard disk through Node is the best digital I have had in my system with my DAC to date.  Far superior to any of the PC laptops I have used with JRiver as source via USB or CDs or streaming from Node via toslink.  Frankly kind of shocked at the noticeable difference.

You didn't mention what Dac model you were having issues with using Coax/

SPDIF out. There are some that do not interface well with the Node.
