You just have to get out a 16 bit 44,1khz signal, just
like on a cd. There is no use for you to have a 24/96
signal for monitoring and wondering all the time if it
would be the same on the CD... And I'm wondering if it
possible to get a 24/96 signal out with the RME...

If you wanna get digital out of the RME, you've got
nothing to do, just plug the little cable converter on
the sub-d connector ont the board, and play music, the
monitoring stream is copy on the digital out by the
board.

I don't know about the delta 44...

Bye

François
