I don't think I posted about the RME AD/DA convertor. It is excellent.
It clearly shows the locked 44Khz Toslink, but I can connect up a laptop directly and using a sample 32bit FLAC file (FLAC only got this support last year, not much music available using it, very few sources are going to produce this) I can get the RME up to 32bit / 192Khz.
That's really all I wanted to know, if I used the USB connection would I be able to achieve the highest quality possible and have the DAC avoid up/down sampling and just convert whatever it was given. The answer is yes.
Still got to fall back on the Chromecast Audio for a while as I've not yet acquired a small PC to use as the headless Plexamp receiver — at least all the rest is in place and ready for it.
One thing though, it gets pretty warm. I was surprised how warm it gets. Radiates a nice warmth on a cold day so I am glad to have put it in a place where there's decent air around it.
