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

via Coaxial input..but HOW do i play back those files? Is there any affordable music server or hard disc player that will allow me to play those files and output them to the coaxial input of my DAC?

if not, is there any alternative ?
Thanks in advance..i'm a newbie in digital playback.

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

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?

Mike I’m using SPDIF coax from a Mac mini via M2-tech (USB) into SPDIF input on my PBD, sounds very good. I still have to experiment with a better coax cable than the one am using now.
