I have never seen an authoritative answer to this. I did an experiment just last week in which I tracked a half-dozen parts via S/PDIF, and examined the bit depth using a utility that I wrote myself. I found that all 24 bits of the audio I captured were in use. I was quite surprised by this. It should be taken with a grain of salt as I haven't heard anything from anyone else on this. There is a post on this forum according to which Access tech support says all the digital audio outs operate at 16 bits. That it not what I see when I look at the bit streams coming out of the unit however. Dunno what to think.

And how do you change the sample rate from 44.1 to 48khz?
In the CONFIG menu's global parameters, there is a clock rate setting.

Also, can the TI act as a slave to a Master Clock sample rate through SPDIF?
Cheers guys
Yes, if you set the clock source to Auto (CONFIG menus again) it will lock to the incoming S/PDIF clock. It burps sometimes on patch changes and mode changes, or at least it used to. I find it to be steadier and more reliable to derive the master clock from the Virus's S/PDIF output instead, but both things can be made to work.
