Yes, sample rate.

I'm just trying to match what's being played, often Joe Frank, to the Dac.
I was hoping there was a way to tell.
The different choices don't really sound different.
But the Dacs I use all read out whatever I select in Midi Audio, there's no Automatic Detection.
Not with HQ or JRiver or AV+ of course, just Internet Radio.
The stations I listen to aren't on ITunes either.
Anyway, thanks for your input!

This is true of every DAC in the world. The DAC can only report the received sample rate. Unless using some of the programs and settings described elsewhere in the thread, the OS will use its built-in low quality SRC conversion program to make all audio the same rate so it can mix it. Unless you know ahead of time the correct sample rate and manually set it, or use special software with (with special settings in Windows), there is no way to affect how the OS changes the sample rate - certainly not by any DAC.

Hope this helps.
