Jeez... I say "big" as in I'm a fan of computer audio as opposed to physical media like CD or minidisk. (Though Vinyl is better...infinite samplerate :)) Whats my Dac got to do with anything? It can process 32/384 digital files, but my question was about setting LMS up to best process my SACD/DSD files. Best way forward for me (after listening) was to convert to FLAC and be done with it. My belief is that theres more to digital than 1's and 0's. Assume you know about digital being analogue waveforms representing voltage...right? (See...I can do sarcasm too :)) You know Vinyl playback began in 1890's? Still the best sounding format imo! Newer isn't alwasys better! Chill, its all good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gazjam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18604 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103125 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
