* iRadio/Streaming Services are output as 16-bit data at the
appropriate sample rate for the decompressed data. The sample rate
will be 32kHz, 44.1kHz or 48kHz depending on the streams sample
rate.
Incoming streams of less than 32kHz sample rate cannot be output
over S/P DIF /TOSLINK.
For compressed streams the true resolution of the audio is of course
limited by the encoding.
For Media content from local drives or UPnP this outputs in its native
resolution of 16/24-bit, 32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz, 88.2kHz,
176.4kHZ and 192kHz with bit for bit transfer.
