So what will happen if you can only get 24-bit/96K, most streaming audio will be 16-bit/44.1K.I have latest version of W10, and Realtek ALC1150 audio codec on the motherboard.

I cannot say it is a big problem. But there are 24/192 tracks on Amazon Music HD and I would like to be sent to the DAC to the same sample rate, not down-sampled.So what will happen if you can only get 24-bit/96K, most streaming audio will be 16-bit/44.1K.
If the cables can carry 24-bit/96K without issues, then they can (should) pass 24-bit/192K.@twsecrest, I have just tried them !
One of my cables gives no sound with 24/192 signal.
The others, have a lot of gaps, pops and cracks when playing 24/192.
If I set max resolution at 24/96, all of them can handle it.
Toslink cables are NOT the limiters.
TOSLINK receivers are designed up to 5Mbs some up to 8Mbs.
It is a technical limit because these receivers are intended for Asynchronous transmission.
There are also newer receivers that can reach 16Mbs (Asynchronous) with receivers all the way up to 155Mbs (synchronous)
44.1kHz/16-bit: 44,100 x 16 x2 = 1,411,200 (1.4Mbps)
96kHz/24bit: 96,000 X 24 X 2 = 5,308,000 bits per second (5.3Mbps)
192kHz/24bit: 192,000 X 24 X 2 = 9,216,000 bits per second (9.2Mbps)
need another x2 due to the biphase modulation of the SPDIF signal.
Hm, I am gonna try to connect same cable to another DAC. Maybe this is the problem.
Maybe JohnYang could tell us if D50s support 24/192 via Toslink.
Topping drivers are XMOS USB drivers with Topping flavour over it, I don't see how that is going to help for optical toslink.Think you have to install their drivers to get that. Never mind if you've already done that.
You do know that S/PDIF over coax is a different interface than S/PDIF over optical, although they are the same protocol?After a few tests, I can say that indeed, the optical cable seems to be the problem.
At this moment, I can play 24/194 files using digital coaxial output of the motherboard.
I am using the SPDIF header and an old composite video RCA cable.
