I own a MAC Mini and it comes standard with the Intel High Definition Audio sound card 0x83847680 which does 192 kHz/32-bit quality for two channels, and 96 kHz/32-bit for up to eight channels.
As some mentioned Reference Recordings HRx's are 176.4kHz. I just did some comparisons between 96kHz and 192kHz on my MAC Mini yesterday and 192kHz is better in many key area's (see linked post). I also downloaded a 192kHz 32 Bit music file. So I think to future proof your DAC you many need not only the capability of 192kHz but 32 Bit as well.
Give me high resolution or remain silent,
