It would be could to have official confirmation about the DAC manufacturer.
Dan, are you concerned whether the DAC's are 32bit or will handle a 192 signal. I have no idea of the 32 bit but even the MCD-500 DAC's will receive and pass a 192 signal. I tried that running by running a 192 signal thru the digital out of the Olive 4HD into the MCD-500 and into the C-1000. No problems.
