Planning on replacing Logitech Touch with a Node.

When I download the BluOs Controller on the Mac it says 24Bit. The node will stream at 32-bit/384khz. However it will be restricted to 16Bit due to the BluOs Controller. Both the Node and Mac will be be attached to my wired network. Please let me when BluOs Controller will be upgraded to 32-bit/384khz.

Thanks Murray

  The spec sheet does say it has a 32/384 DAC but goes onto say it supports upto 24/192 file formats

  It cannot use the additional bits / depths, these are used for overhead of digital volume control and tone control. It also helps with a faster bandwidth for decoding.

  The software (BluOS controller) plays no part in the music reproduction as it’s merely a remote control.

  Bluesound hardware supports 24/192, it is 32bit internally to allow for volume control in the digital domain it cannot support higher bit / depth rates than 24/192.

  Some MQA tracks can however be of a much higher resolution but they only unfold so far.

  Thank you for your response. I don't understand. The spec for the Node, which is Bluesound hardware,  says 32-bit/384khz. Its the software (BluOs Controller) on the desktop that is 24bit. Can and will this software be updated to 32bit to make it compatible with the node?
