If it does then you need the latest version of MPD to get 24 bit audio support (0.15. alpha). I have been working on a host pc solution to specifically support HD audio playback, and was responsible for getting the MPD team the necessary info to get 24 bit playback working. It does support through 192/24 correctly. The remaining issue is seeking on wave files. I have not been able to get the other audio programs to work as cleanly.
