I think I have one that is upsampled from 44.1 to 48 " for better compatibility with computers " or some such nonsense I emailed them about it , but they may have a piont suppose an old win XP system and a punter not using asio or kernel streaming etc and other workarounds to avoid the kmixer , the algorithms used by the OS to do this may be tuned more to use less resources than perfect audio quality . Not to mention some soundboards my old sound blaster from my old pc has clear aliasing artefacts :P feed it signals close to 20k and cheerful noises will be heard . And then we have a squeezebox that bypasses all that :) sad that the Beaty and simplicity of this is not apriciated by more audiophiles . Get squeezebox unpack conect install LMS scan enjoy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69882 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
