You can easily get an HRT streamer working in 16 bit mode with a Touch, it takes some asound.config work and changing a couple settings in some lua files. This is documented in this thread. Remember this is in 16 bit mode so ANY volume setting other than 100 is going to loose bits from 16 bit files, and you will loose bits all over the place from 24 bit files. Running HRTs in 24 bit mode is more complicated, the HRT (and most other USB DACs) use a different 24 bit mode than the Touch supports. You have two choices, use plughw, which automatically does the conversion, but it decreases SQ and adds a clicks and pops, OR use a jive_alsa I have written which sends out 24 bit data in the correct format. For this to work you have to make some changes in the alsa.conf and some changes to the lua files. This actually sends real 24 bit data to the HRT, BUT at least in my situation still has some clicks and pops every so often. I haven't found a good solution for 24 bit yet.
