yes - sorry, I was thinking about NOS DAC's. I should have made that clear. Modern DAC's always oversample so they can use a digital recon filter out of harms way. Which rather begs the question why anyone would ever UPSAMPLE anything these days. I mean, it would have made sense years ago before digital recon filters... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
