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

Did you set the Audio MIDI setup to 96/24? It is in the Utilities folder.

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.

I hate to sound like an ignoramus, but I have been searching for the Utilities and Audio Midi settings on Windows XP to set for 96/24 or above, but I cannot find them. Am I looking in the wrong place? Are they in QucikTime. Help! I want to try running from my Samsung Netbook to W4S DAC2 Usb input and try out High Res tunes.

Thx.
