David - while you can change those settings in Audio Midi - you shouldn't have to. For example I use Roon, and it does not care what the settings are in Audio Midi, it will output your music files bases on what their format. For example a 16/44 file will be sent at 16/44 and 24/96 file will be sent at 24/96, etc...
There were times, year back and further when some music player software required that you set the Outputs in Audio Midi to the highest supported by your device ( i.e. DAC ) - thus is your DAC supported 24/192 they recommend you set the default in their to 24/192.
I have not used iTunes in quite a while so cannot comment there.
So long story short, set it once to the highest supported by your device, and after that no need to worry about it again.
I am sure someone else can pipe in with other details.
