If they were transferring from the analog.. Quite frequently they use DSD material (which was also upsampled in the past), and merely convert to PCM (a lossy process!), applying some more filtering, etc.. There is nothing in DSD that requires more than 60Khz sampling rate.. Over 25Khz there is a catastrophic amount of noise... -- michael123 Big 'thank you' to AndyG for fixing #15209, #15693, #16442, #16760 :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ michael123's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86017 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
