I decided to go with 24/96 because I figure the Transporter would upsample to 96khz anyway. I really dont know what happens in hardware in the DAC but it seems that many DACs upsample to 96 even though its an off multiple of 44.1. I would go to higher multiples but those are not supported. I didnt want to get crazy and try to hear a difference between 88.2 and 96! Interesting that someone has found a difference. I will take that into consideration when my OCD kicks in again! -- earwaxer9 System: modified Winsome Labs Mouse, modified Maggie MMG's, Transporter, HSU sub 12, MSB DAC to 500 watt sub slave amp, JPS labs power cords, Silver audio interconnect, Audioquest Granite speaker cable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39527 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84462
