This is a classic trade off between quality and ease of use. :-(
I observe the following:
1. A user who bothers to set the DAC manually to the correct speed should get the best possible sound, i.e. bit perfect to the DAC and no transport jitter, only DAC master clock jitter.
2. A user who doesn't bother to set the DAC manually should still get very good sound, regardless of setting. This can be done by running the DAC at whatever speed it is set to and having the playback software make the necessary SRC. (The software will have all of the necessary information available to it.)
