1) IME Only very few people can hear the small difference between 44.1 and 48. I used to be able to 15 years ago when DAT machines were popular but I can't anymore. Even then it was a tiny tiny difference on my top end Sony and I couldn't in all honesty say it was really down to the filtering. It might just have been a better DAC. 2) All of the NOS DAC's I've heard sound uniformly dreadful in the upper mid and top end to me YMMVof course. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
