Seems reasonable. If 192/24 (or even 96/24) had been the leap equivalent to HDTV vs SDTV for example, we'd have made the switch by now... it just didn't turn out to be a compelling enough improvement. Maybe that Nyquist chap was onto something after all, and maybe those ringing filters aren't as bad as theory implies... ? -- 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=37352 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
