For future reference, synchronous/asynchronous sounds more like a description for whether the SRC occurs in real-time or is done beforehand. I believe you're referring to is an integer or non-integer "up/down-sampling factor" or "sampling rate conversion factor". Cheers, Darren Check it,

I think you'll have a hard time finding a DAC that sounds as good as the Transporter. Even finding one that's a minuscule better will cost a lot of money. And no, I don't infer that all pricey equipment necessarily sounds better or even good at all. I know people who have compared the

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] transporter: upsample files with sox and drop external DAC?

I am on a system simplifaction kick at the moment and have been debating dropping my DAC (Bryston BDA-2) The DAC does synchronous upsampling to 176.4k or 192k (i.e. has two paths for 44.1k and 48k based files) noting that all my stuff is 44.1 and I run LMS on LInux. My simple question is, all
