I assume it's a DSP speaker since you said you turned it off.

I try a few things:

The speaker may be set wrong around the 24/96 settings. Normally upsampled data is sent.

Type your system from front panel.
Then test with a CD in Trifield.
If that works your config is messed up.

Also a bad cable could be the problem. So try connecting the right rear cable to the left rear (at the speaker END).

If this still all points to the speaker it make just not be handling the higher rates.

Also it wouldn't hurt to reload firmware in the speaker. And you should confirm you have the procedure down right by reloading firmware in a speaker that works.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
