I just looked at the TACT online. When I grew up, I will get one! ;-) Until then, I have to stick to my DacMagic without room correction. As soon as I got my Touch I will play with these lines again. That "much-easier-time-for-the-chip" statement makes sense to me. SoX works so damn good in theory that maybe it's even worth to upsample twice, letting the more trustworthy application do the bigger, more critical step from 44.1 upwards. -- Quad ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69454 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
