Windows Directsound/DAC Help:

My Topping DX7s has arrived. I installed the topping DX7s driver.

How come it still doesn't have support for 32Bit/768kHz?

Those settings are for the mixer. WASAPI shared mode.

What you are seeing are the limits of the mixer on your OS version.
Basically, your driver/device supports 32Bit/768kHz but the resampler there in your OS version does not.
There are hard limits. Bypass the mixer using WASAPI exclusive mode.

Upgrade to windows 10 for support beyond 192kHz.
I think the limits on windows 10 may be 384kHz. Not sure.

4. Sample rates greater than 192 kHz not supported on Windows 7/8/8.1
Operating systems: Windows 7 32/64 bit Windows 8 32/64 bit Windows 8.1 32/64 bit

Problem description: The default format selection in the sound device properties dialog does not show formats with sample rates greater than 192 kHz.

Microsoft Windows sound APIs (MME, DirectSound) do not support sample rates greater than 192 kHz.

Higher sample rates (384 kHz, 352.8 kHz) can be used through ASIO only.

Additional information: Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 are limited to 192 kHz. On Windows 10 there is no such limitation. However, the system-provided Speaker Enhancements (Bass Boost, Virtual Surround, etc.) are still limited to 192 kHz. To overcome this, Matrix driver disables or enables enhancements depending on the highest sample rate supported by a given device.
