Whats the point of a standard when no (or only very few devices?) support it? I still don't get why you want to have 96kHz but only need a stereo-out. For quality? Why then go with a small TRS output? And why go with a cheap usb soundcard? The output amplifiers and dac will be cheap, which will drastically reduce that "gained" quality of 96kHz. Probably it will reduce the quality below that of a better-brand 48kHz device... Have fun, Arnold
