Having purchased John Mellecamp's new album today I'm curious re the maximum resolution the SB3 is able to playback without hiccup. The reaon I ask is because the DVD XO#916;E copy includes the tracks in 24/96 WAV. As I don't want to restrict listening to it only on my Transporter I'm going to

I worried about the lack of 24/96, but there is so little available in that format (and less in 24/192!) that it's really not worth worrying about. You can always downsample to 24/48. Just get whatever you prefer the sound of on 16/44.1, I say, and you will be happy with 99% of your music
