Willem, I have two systems and neither one did 24/96 but I suspect it has more to do with the DAC and maybe the RPi USB issues. My solution was to pass the command defining the parameters at boot time. Triode suggested I remove those settings and capture the -d all=debug log and then put them back in and do it again and see what is different. I'm going to do that however I'm waiting for my Squeezeplug Raspberry Pi to crash. I want to see how long it is going to stay up ever since I put that experimental firmware in the Raspberry Pi. It's beginning to look like it ISN'T going to crash. I think I'm going into my 4th day of uptime now. But again I may not have been getting 24/96 for a variety of reasons. It may have worked right out of the gate with a different DAC. Best thing we can all do is try things and report them here. Basically when you fill out the questions when installing squeezelite it just writes the file that launches the program. If I follow the prompts and get what I want that's great, however in my case it didn't work out so I wrote my command line defining the program start and called it from somewhere else. That's the beautiful thing about Linux. Always several ways to do something.
