Does the touch alter a 24 bit input signal(with sampling rate no higher than 96 kHz) by adding bits? Also does it support any sampling rate between 32 kHz and 96 kHz? I have a dac which is upto 24 bit 96 kHz compatible, but due to the noise floor of the analog some say the actual resolution of

Looking forward to the Touch! I read the Touch can do 24/96 by itself. Does it also output higher rez to the S/PDIF out? So if I play 24/192 material, what happens? 1) The Touch itself gets downsampled 24/96 from the server (SOX) of does the Touch downsample itself for analoge out? 2) Can it

Nope - 24/96 is what it outputs via s/pdif. Downsampling of 96 happens on the server. Thanks for clarifying, helps a lot. Ralph -- MrRalph MrRalph's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22078

All of which is proven in practice by the fact that dts replay is perfect on max volume, which it wouldn't be if even the lowest bit of the 16 originals had been changed in any way, therefore it is bit-perfect. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it

Will the Touch send out via SPDIF native formats of files on a central server or does it upsample? Almost all my music is 16/44.1 with no immediate plans for higher rates. -- miab miab's Profile:
