@julian.david In windows 10, control panel > sound > playback > mutec mc3+ smart clock usb > advanced: where you can select the sampling rate and bit depth. Only 16bit has selection for 176400Hz. There is not option for 24bit 176400Hz. Is this a mutec driver issue or a windows 10 issue?

Yggy multibit dac or usb converter + usb card?
madaboutaudio replied to tboooe's topic in DAC - Digital to Analog Conversion
Go for the Yggdrasil DAC. The only thing against the dac is it's 24/7 operating "requirement". The closed form filter on the Yggdrasil will make you rediscover and revisit your old music all over again. After which if money allows, go for the mutec. Last would be the usb card. -

Crystal Clock Generators in DACs operates via Quartz vibration, which technically is a mechanical operation. Clock generator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also we don't know how tiny vibration affects things on the atomic or molecular level. Power Transformers also do generate sound vibrations via buzz and hum. Maybe there are forces and effects incomprehensible or unstudied by human science but can be felt by human senses. e.g. the 3rd/5th/7th level harmonic distortions(generated by electronics,speakers,ac power) from frequencies beyond human hearing, do they get seeped into the audible range? e.g. they used to believe the world is flat(no such thing as universe) and not round, but now we also know the planet Earth is not a symmetrical round shape. -
