Hi Everyone,
Very long and detailed post coming once this is resolved but here's a quick status report in the meantime.
Aune sent over a document explaining the 16bit/24bit situation completely in Chinese and we're working to translate it now (if any of you read mandarin and want to see the document, let me know via will@massdrop.com and I'll get it sent to you).
The document confirms the MK2 can operate at 24bit/96khz but the current driver software doesn't make the options clear. Essentially, Aune configured the DAC to give an option for 32bit (using a different control software than we currently have a link for) and as part of that process, the 24bit option was mis-labeled as 16bit.
We know this sounds strange, but rest assured, this will be resolved and all of you will be able to operate at an identifiable 24bit/96khz very soon. We're working on this with Aune as quickly as they respond to emails and we're hoping to have a resolution in the next few days. Sadly, Aune doesn't work on the weekend and its already Saturday in China so the earliest we'll have an update will be this coming Monday.
In the meantime, we're postponing this drop (all commits and joins have been canceled) until the confusion is resolved.
We really appreciate your patience and support with this drop and we're looking forward to updating you as soon as possible. This may be Aune's fault, but you're all Massdrop members and we're doing everything we can to make this right as quickly as possible.

WillMy apologies for being pedantic, but Mandarin is a spoken dialect of Chinese (like Cantonese), not a written one. The two written forms of Chinese are Traditional and Simplified, and it should be noted that the majority of characters are common between the two. Someone who is literate in Chinese should be able to read both without much problem.
Hopefully someone is able to translate that document for you guys, machine translations of Asian languages usually don't go well.
TheAsianMongooseDerp, guess that's why I haven't gotten any emails! But really, thanks for pointing that out (my family is full of linguistic sticklers so they'd be ashamed I made such a mistake). I'll edit the post shortly.
Luckily we have several native speakers on staff who have done rough translations, now it's about taking the translation and making it readable. No need for google translate : )
