just wondering if your reciever has HDMI input and if you can use that for audio? Would be interesting to see what resolution you could get out of that.

Hi I have an iMac and have found that I can only get upto 96/24 on the optical out and I'm trying to see what options are available for me to get 192/24 on the optical out to my Yamaha receiver that has a built in 192/24 DAC. NB:I do not want to use an external USB DAC as I need to keep the equipment to a minimum and I don't see any reason in doubling up if I already have a DAC in my AMP. So the only options I can think of are. 1. custom audio drivers - From my reading the standard drivers in OSX do not support 192/24 out even though the chipset can 2. upgrade to a MacPro? But I don't know if this supports the higher resolution out the optical out?? Anyone know? Any ideas or thoughts on the above would be much appreciated.
