I am trying to play 24/96 and/or 24/192 FLAC files but without success. I am aware that WDTV will not sent it trough SPDIF and I bought HDMI to SPDIF Audio Extractor:
My problem is when I play 24/192, LED 192 on the DAC blinks but returns immediately to 48. Wonder if problem is WDTV audio output setup and what I could try.
I setup audio output to digital pass through via HDMI only, but I can hear sound on both RCA and DAC.
Also if I disconnect my optical cable Extractor and hook it up directly WDTV to DAC I am hearing sound from the DAC.
Using the spdif output and setting to “digital passthrough” it is possible for me to play flac files 24bit with 48khz and 24bit with 96 kHz. 192 is not possible.
I asked WD support for the output rate, they answered that at the optical out it would be always the original file rate.
Perhaps there is a downsampling, I cannot check it 100%.
