Sorry if this is offtopic, but can I ask if you chose LTS or the regular (faster updates) version? Thank you.

I'm using 18.04 Busy Beaver, because the newer one didn't work for me.

The Pulse Audio in Ubuntu supports up to 192000 bitrate for PCM, 32-bit. I got this USB DAC that supports up to 384 kHz bitrate, but Pulse Audio only supports up to 192 kHz bitrate for PCM. The DAC is 32bit which Pulse Audio does support. There may be a sound platform that supports up to the 384kHz bitrate.
I'm using it with this computer speaker system:
They are quite phenomenal together.

Version 3.7 is up of the MAX.
I had to fix some of the color codes which were wrong for Linux and Windows.

Support for 384kHz was added in Pulseaudio 9.0, in 2017 or earlier. Ubuntu 18.04 has Pulseaudio 11.1. Support for it in raw ALSA (the sound layer beneath Pulseaudio) seemingly existed for quite some years, however it was officially noted down on "include the sample rates in the show rates command" in 2019. People say that sometimes raw ALSA has a better sound than Pulseaudio. What does the command "ls /proc/asound" tell you? |

That command gives me this:

That command gives me this:
So you have 5 sound cards in your system, a C920, a Lync, a NVidia, a SB and your SPECTRA. Can you do "cat /proc/asound/SPECTRA/stream0" and "aplay -L"? We need to do this to find what ALSA (the underlying sound system) sees and to know your card's number relative to the others. |

I've gone through and got it set up pretty well. The highest my version of pulseaudio supports is 192kHz. I set it to resample to that rate, and it's working great. I'm not worried about going straight to ALSA.
