I'm not Mark, but the concept of upsampling DACs is to let them do anti-aliasing in the digital domain so they can use gentle 3 db/octave analog filters above 22kHz. I can follow the theory, so if the digital filtering is done right, and if the analog circuits are actually better, I can believe it could work. But I can't see how pretending that you have 88.2kHz x 24 bit data from a RedBook CD, storing it on a hard disk, and then passing the bogus data to an external DAC is a winner at all. And I can't see how going to 96kHz rather than 88.2kHz (which Anne mentioned in her original post) is a winner. Sure smells like snake oil to me. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
