I don't think that is correct each speaker should be set correctly (18bit or 24bit) in the configuration ... and then set HS=N for the all multi-channel pre-sets.

This give the best compromise ... as when using say the Direct preset, which only uses the front left / right these can be feed be fed with 96K.
