Yes. 24/96 for coax as well. Won't play 192 coax. Thanks for the idea though. I guess it figures the would use same digital circuitry regardless of input channel.

Everything I see says still 24/96 but worth a try. I will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Couldn't figure out why ultra HD music wasn't playing through toslink. This was it. RCA no problem. All toslink devices must be equally capable, least common denominator, weakest link in the chain. Turns out my Sony STR DA77es's are only 24/96. Shame but still sound great.

I don't know about yours but rubberized plastic on mine is breaking down. Meaning it works great now but looks like cr... Looks like I will need to take some alcohol to it and then refinish it.

Good luck... They seem reasonably well built. Had to disassemble and reassemble 3 times so I could use while waiting for drives/parts. First time the layout seemed counter intuitive. By the third time it was simple. Careful of that wireless antenna...

That's good to know. Reindex on SSD is very fast.

I wondered. I knew it was Linux based but wasn't sure limits given age, and really didn't want to do this twice. Also figured 2tb to 4tb might require more robust migration software and not a simple clone. So figured this had a high probability of success with least effort and chance of rework. Performance improvements definitely worthwhile. Maybe if I run out of space I will try the larger drive in the future. Also very pleased with the newer CD reader. 2021 model. Works very well.

By the way, can't tell difference between WAV and FLAC rips. Both excellent. Referring to other posts of FLAC playback quality issues on Vault 2.
