* Steep filter disabled
* 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 or 96kHz with bit for bit transfer.
