But the subtext of the original post is rather more interesting. What's being said here is that a system with dCS gear (ie. state of the art) does NOT expose the fact that the SB3's downsampling is intrinsically flawed. Basically, the SB3 simply throws away every other sample without performing the necessary filtering first. This will produce aliasing, and if anything is going to make it audble, a dCS setup should. And yet the OP says that this sounds great. It strikes me this implies that the Linn 24/96 files have little or no content above 24kHz in the first place. So why bother doubling the size of the files? Linn are not in the habit of specmanship for its own sake. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49210 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
