Apple lossless -vs-24/96

I have amassed quite a bit of an itunes library and just recently got a wadia151 that I absolutely love! I have converted all my files to apple lossless at 16 bit 44.1khz. Would I benefit from 24/96 since my 151 is capable of that? If so how would I do it?

Lads - I believe the Wadia 151 supports 24/96 via USB. That can bypass any sound card you have.

Thanks a lot for the info. I thought I was probably missing something from J River. I will try that and let you know!

You probably also want to check the Exclusive Mode box in the Output Mode Settings, right under the option where you set WASAPI. That keeps the OS from trying to break in and bring it back to 44.1KHz.

Thanks everyone for your help! I have been listening to 24/96 files for the last hour or so. I can't believe the difference! I am really amazed to hear 24/96 via usb via my locus design polestar.
