Hm, thats going to be tough. It depends on HOW the DAC implements 192. IF it uses a custom driver its not going to work. IF it uses USB audio class 2 its not going to work (the version of ALSA in the Touch just has audio class 1 not 2). The only way it could work is if the DAC uses high speed bus mode and uses audio class 1 protocol. This will actually work, but is not officially anything. Audio class 1 does not specifiy high speed mode and does not officially support 192 but the way the ALSA driver were written its perfectly happy using high speed mode. The class 1 protocol does not explicitly support 192, but it doesn't preclude it either. If the hardware sets the values right for 192 it will actually work. Unfortunately I don't know of any hardware that actually works this way, SO, the probability of this working is pretty low. If Logitech would switch to the latest ALSA that DOES have support for audio class 2 so a DAC designed to work with that would work. But I don't see Logitech doing that any time soon.
