Audio Specs

DSD files are not supported.

High resolution playback is supported but only with FLAC.

Tauon's codec support is as follows:

Codec Preserve high resolution? Preserve Samplerate?
Category 1 FLAC Yes, 24bit supported Yes with "Avoid Resampling" on*
Category 2 MP3, OGG, OPUS, WavPack Only 16bit supported Yes with "Avoid Resampling" on*
Category 3 WAV, M4A, ALAC, APE, TTA, WMA Downscaled to 16bit No, may use resampling

*To get samplerates forwarded to your DAC, enable setting "Avoid Resampling" in Tauon under MENU > Settings > Audio. You will also need to enable dynamic samlperates in Pipewire, see here on how to configure that.

Note: Most people can't hear any difference between high and standard resolution audio, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
