I don't feel strongly - hence the smiley! I never want flame wars. But...dithering and upsampling are rather different techniques... Dithering has some basis in science (sort of). Also - I'm sure you would agree that there is NO way that upsampling can add accurate information - all it can do is interpolate, which is simply a guess and NOT real data! -- 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
