16bit sounds good/44.1 when you get to 20bit/48hz they do sound much

Most DVD-A's have MLP 2 Channel 24/192 or 5.1 24/96 on the "DVD-A"

Thanks Dave. Your correct, I thought analog-dsp settings worked with
analog-direct. Changing the rate is only available when using the
analog-dsp mode, which I learned I don't want since I want to take
advantage of the Transporter dac.
I'm still learning about the two channel/Slimdevice world.
You shouldn't need to do anything on the pre-amp, it should detect what
type of digital stream it's receiving and decode accordingly. I doubt
that you even have an option to set the pre-amp's sample rate.
Cheers, Dave

I've never owned 24/96 recordings, but now have the Best of Audiophile
voices collections, as well as a few others.
I have the Transporter connected to the balanced inputs im my Anthem
AVM50 pre-amp and am running 2 channel direct. I do have the option to
change the sampling rate to 96Khz.
No
There's really no need for two runs anyway, as most recording software
allows you to convert between different sample rates and word lengths.
Record and save it at 24/96, then downconvert to 16/48 or 24/48 for your
daily use files...

Before I returned the Transporter, I compared 96/24 playback from the
If you don't mind wasting bandwidth there's no real problem with sending
24/96 to a SB3 instead of 24/48. While the SB3 just throws away every
other sample the result isn't anyway much different from a proper
downsampling by a good PC program...

I've been contemplating ripping some of my vinyl (mostly high-quality
classical recordings my grandfather was going to toss several years
ago) and figured I might as well go the 24/96 route, just because I
can. I'd rather not make two runs (one at 24/96 for long-term archiving
and one at SB3-appro
Thanks for the reply Chris! The rip sounds fine in Media Player but I
need to look at the file properties to verify it made it through as a

At this time the Transporter does not resample audio data under any
circumstances. The firmware architecture really never had resampling
in mind. The SB3 will resample 88.2KHz and 96KHz content down to
44.1KHz and 48KHz, respectively.
I would suggest you check the wav file to make sure it real
bump..

I used my PC to transfer some Zappa vinyl onto my hard drive using a
24/96 sample rate into a WAV format. The songs play fine on the
transporter but the AES/EBU output to my McIntosh MDA1000 dac is only a
44.1 sample rate. Does the Transporter downsample a 96/24 to a 44.1/16

It's marginal - not many Transporter users will be using ReplayGain,
even fewer are playing back 24/96 material, and since the FLAC encoder
doesn't support adding ReplayGain anyway, the whole thing may just be
too obscure to waste effort on.

I downmixed those 6-channel test files I have to 2-channel and the WAVs
play back fine on the Transporter.
FLACs with no ReplayGain data play back fine as well. However when I

support RG with 96 kHz material. I added RG with fooba

Well 24/96 support was one thing I wanted, but hadn't actually tried out

I just listened enough to confirm it works.
In order to play back a proper rip, I'd have to downmix the 6-channel
tracks to 2. I'll hav

I did test 24/96 before we shipped, BUT I don't have a lot of test
content in 24/96 formats.
I expect there are some 24/96 tracks that don't play due to oddities in
the formats that the firmware or software decoders don't understand.
So, don't be reluctant to file a bug if you run across such
Yup I have a DVD 24 bit 192khz rip of Neil Young's Harvest. I thought
the Transporter would be able to play this, but it plays at half speed
which is not ideal (but does have it's interesting moments).
I thought the Transporter was flagged as able handle this but
obviously not.

Well the 2 channel version plays just fine. The track info says 96 kHz,
24 bit as well.
Gee, who'd-a-thunk it, 6 channel doesn't work in a 2-channel device?
Duh! :-)
Haven't tried FLAC yet. WAV works just fine. It's also a testament to
