USB output of my new MacBook Air appears to be limited to 96kHz. Also it has no firewire output.
Using a USB DAC like the Ayre or E-MU 0404USB, is one limited to using only a Windows set-up in order to play 24/176 or 24/192 music files?
In other words, is a Mac running Snow Leopard limited to only 96kHz output from its USB port? If so, is there any 3rd party software or driver that will allow 176 or 192kHz files to stream natively from the USB port?
