I appreciate the response. In Windows Sound settings, my usb DAC gives me the option of 24 for the bit rate, and then 41000 Hz up to 96000 Hz for the sample rate.

I always use 24 bit and 44100 Hz with Pandora, figuring that it is the best choice. I have tried the other sample rates, but if there is a difference in sound quality (good, or bad), I don't think I have been able to tell.
