Good Evening folks,

I have a sound card whose bit rate and sample rate can be manually adjusted from 16 to 24 and from 44.1 to 192 khz respectively. My question is this: does it effect sound quality if I keep it on 24/ 192 no matter what the source material? Keeping it "maxed" is easier since I sometimes play some music files which are at 24/192 however, mostly I play redbook quality material.

I understand that the dac "fills in zeros" when lacking info. I just don't know if this is a detriment when playing redbook flac files.

Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!

Best,

Jason
