If you really want it to sound like vinyl, I suggest you restrict the frequency response and dynamic range, add some low level low and high frequency noise and the odd random "click" plus random speed variations - that should get you pretty close. :o) Seriously, upsampling is not going to add anything - especially to 96 or 192 which aren't even simple multiples of 44.1. I really don't understand why anyone wants to do this. DAC's upsample internally anyway - at least modern ones do. Just my 2 cents worth. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36986 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
