Downsampling to 44.1 kHz is a simpler process, so is less likely to introduce resampling errors. However you will loose half of the data, so it is no longer proper hi-rez material. If you use a squeezebox which will downsample internally anyway, I think this is the best approach. Upsampling to 96kHz on the other hand is more complex, and needs more sophisticated algorhitms, but if done properly it will retain better the resolution of the original. So for use with a Transporter would be my choice. It should be fairly easy to test by doing both and then simply playing them to see if one is better than than the other. -- Veggen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Veggen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7035 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32951 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
