I have imported all of my cd's as apple lossless onto a Network drive. In Itunes for each song it gives me various bit rates (example) 963 kbps and a sample rate of 44.100 khz. When I read articles or specs on a DAC that I am looking at it says the maximum that it plays is 96khz/24-bit. I guess my question is what is the difference between the two bit rates. How come when I import a cd as lossless the bit rate is so high, but lower end DAC can only handle up to 24bit. I think I understand the difference in the sample rate.
Thanks
