Hdtracks flacs at 96/24 but recognized as 44/16


I am streaming 96/24 flac files to a dac (w4s-dac1) from my MacBook pro using the toslink connection. The dac list the file sample rate to be 44/16.
The player I am using is VLC. What am I doing wrong

Thank

You might want to check the "midi settings". If the "midi settings" are set to "16/44" then the OS "down samples" the bit rate to match.
That was it, the settings in the midi section, never looked in there before. Thank you.
