To Roger Kanno,
I read your article about the Asus O!Play. I connected it to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic DAC with an optical cable. It can play the 24-bit/96kHz FLAC files, but the DacMagic only shows 44.1 or 48kHz and not 96kHz. Can you help me?
Thanks,
Balint Rosko
It seems that later versions of the firmware for the Asus O!Play restrict it from outputting 88.1kHz and 96kHz digital audio signals via its optical output. (It was never able to output 88.1 and 96kHz signals over HDMI as far as I know).
Although later versions of the firmware have some additional features and reportedly reduce compatibility issues, I would suggest that you downgrade the firmware to version 1.28 if you want to output high-resolution digital audio via the optical output of the O!Play. . . . Roger Kanno
