Thanks Chris, I must have been asleep or something. Seems like the last time I tried (2008 or 2009?) iTunes did not recognise the 24/96 wav files. Not a worry, since I used Foobar. But I do like the iTunes look, feel and ease of use.
Reminds me of my Squeezebox (original version, bought in 2007). At first it could not play the 24/96 wav files but we have to love firmware updates - sometime around 2009 it could!
