Q: 24/192 audio over HDMI from new Mac Mini?
I have been sending 24bit, 192khz audio over hdmi from an Oppo bdp93 to a Classe SSP-800 processor with no issues for months. The SSP-800 says it's getting a 24/192 signal and all is well.
I bought a Mac Mini last week (latest model, 2.3 i7), and the Mac's Audio MIDI setup is only showing a max of 96khz over HDMI.
When I play 24/192 audio files from an app like Fidelia or Decibel, the Mac Mini will not choose anything higher than 96khz in Audio MIDI Setup.
Apple's support site (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4214) says:
Which type of audio works with HDMI?
Apple supports 8 channel 24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1 and stereo output.
So I was under the impression that the Mac Minis can output 24/192 over HDMI. I know the Classe can accept 24/192 over HDMI from the Oppo, so what's going on with the Mac Mini? Has anyone actually been able to send 192khz audio from a Mac Mini's HDMI port?
