I'm thinking about setting up a Mac mini as dedicated music player (only waiting next week to see if anything new raises on the horizon

My doubt, and question, is: Apple states the MM's optical out is capable of 24/192 but on a forum I've seen a post stating that it is true, the hardware can handle it but... not the software (Mac OS, I assume). Not through optical (Toslink) the poster was meaning
Anyone knows "the truth" on this matter, please?

thanks
