Not certain if this is of use ...but I use a modded src 2496...I take
the digital output of the sb3 and then upsample ...you can clearly hear
the effect when you drop back to the standard cd rate on the src

Thank you all for my sampling question.
New 'Problem'!
I rip my Cds with 'Easy CD-DA' to flac.
I also use pandora (=P).
I play P and it is so so good nice 3 db roll off etc.
(Just listing now with the modded Wayne at Bolder it is fantastic)
I play my ripped original Cds and they sound xyz.

No, it's not. CDs are 16 bit - there's no more information there. You
could create 24 bit files from CD if you wanted, but the bottom 8 bits
would all be zeros.

Is it possible to increase the bit depth from 16 bit to 24 bit without
degradation or would I be wasting my time ? I have db poweramp with
the addons and recently converted some Linn 96Khz 24 bit files down to
48Khz for playing through an SB3 but wondered about increasing the bit
depth of CD's.
IvanSlade,
dBpowerAMP will do it, if you install the DSP effects package. This is
well worth the price for the Reference version.
The new version of sox, 13.0.0, will do it as well.
In general of course, I would not recommend to anybody, that they ever
resample a song unless they have to down-s

I have used sox (sox.sourceforge.net) on Linux to successfully resample
files. Windows downloads seem to be also available.
Use polyphase if changing sample
Many thanks for the comments. I agree that upsampling may degrade CD
quality. I was experimenting with changing formats to see if it can be
done, how the SB3 would handle it that is, its effects on output. But I
am totally baffled as to why I cannot convert a simple wav file (ripped
or otherwise)
I'm not sure at what point things are going wrong, but I can confirm
that an SB3 will play a 48K 24 bit wav file without problems.
And while the value in upsampling is open to debate, I think we can
agree that the SB3's down sampling from 96k to 48k isn't ideal. It
wasn't designed with this in

Maybe be an existing answer somewhere which I cannot find.
Following problem.
CDs are 16bit 44.1KHz. The SB3 can handle 48KHz and a 16 or 24 bit
sample rate. Hence, I thought it would be easy to use Easy CD-DA
extractor to rip to flac. Then put it through Sound Forge 8 studio (as
a wav file) to in
